Biography:

Lisa is an early career painter and weaver and is the wife of senior artist Bobby Bununggurr. She is a focussed artist who has developed a very painterly approach in how she tells her freshwater stories on canvas. When Lisa isn’t painting she is outside with the women weavers, harvesting and collecting fibres and dyes to create beautiful fibre art pieces.
