For her, painting country and wellbeing went hand in hand and she was a brilliant and fierce artist, who fought bravely for her country and her people. 

“Painting flowers are the way my mind heals my body and calms me down. It brings me back to being able to touch my memories of being a child growing up being free and closer to nature.”

Biography:

Margaret is a Yindjibarndi Elder and Cultural Custodian and community worker who began painting in 2017. She says her Ngurra (country) and Culture are essential to Yindjibarndi wellbeing.

When I paint, I think of my Ngurra (Yindjibarndi Country) and how it is so deep in me. Everything that is important comes from the Ngurra Nyujunggamu – the Creation Times that we call the time when the world was soft. There are so many spiritual connections between all living things and the world of Yindjibarndi people. This is what I put in my paintings.”
