This artwork showcases the artist’s skillful use of color, texture, and technique, reflecting a deep connection to their environment and culture. Each detail embodies the unique identity of Bidyadanga Artists, where the desert meets the sea, and five language groups—Nyangumarta, Mangala, Yulparija, Juwaliny, and Karrajarri—come together to create art that speaks to the heart of Country. The artist captures the vibrant beauty of both desert and coastal landscapes, blending earthy reds, deep blues, and intricate patterns distinctive to their cultural heritage. The themes and composition invite viewers into the artist’s world, offering a glimpse of the rich, intertwined histories and the enduring connection to land and spirit that define the Bidyadanga community.

Biography:

I have been a practicing artist for many years, I started my first art at Nulungu College in Broome and then kept on going until I moved back to Bidyadanga and continued there. I paint, do lino printing, tie dying, photography and printing on material and sewing into clothes. 

I worked for the education department for over 10 years in Jalamadanga, Derby, Karratha and Broome. I have now moved back to Broome and work as an Arts Worker with the Artists Away from Home program with Broome CIRCLE.

I learnt block printing at Nagula Jarndu in Broome and I paint with Bidyadanga Artists from Broome through the Artists Away from Home Program.
