Pink Girl dress 1 Of 1

This artwork of mine depicts the little girls getting ready for church in the morning with the same marking on the dress and all the design within the dress is all the bright colours that makes the pink girl dress pop.

The artwork is a ‘pochoir’ print, or monotype, printed on BFK Rives paper (100% cotton rag with strong archival properties). Signed by the artist on the front.

Biography:

My name is Paula Savage, I'm from Kubin Community Moa Island in the near western cluster of islands in the Torres Strait. I was born here on Moa Island and am a resident in the community.

I come from the Serganilgal clan group from the village of Dabu on Moa Island, and the Kaurareg Nation of Muralag and Kiriri. 

Art was my interest from such a young age and during high school I studied visual arts and commercial arts.

After leaving school I pursued other job careers, in early 2017 I became a member of Ngalmun Lagau Minaral Art Centre (Moa Arts) in Kubin Community to take up my passion for visual arts again.

A lot of my interest in art is in weaving, lino printing, tie-dying, fabric printing, drawing, carving, and jewellery making.

My artworks are based on my cultural heritage, stories in traditional knowledge, techniques and styles and also, I like to express my art based on our everyday lifestyle which we still today practice, our cultural laws and customs.
