Sharona is a young emerging Yindjibarndi Artist who began creating yarranga marni (carved boards) and acrylic paintings in 2017 as part of Juluwarlu’s Nyinyart Yinda Water Artists Cultural Futures Residencies Programs. Over the past 18 months, Sharona has created some wonderful artwork that draws upon themes of her Yindjibarndi relationships with rain, yinda (deep permanent pools), and ijarri (spings) that bring life to the plants, animals, fish and insects that have nourished Yindjibarndi people for more than 2,000 generations. Sharona’s artwork has been shown and sold at Perth-based exhibitions and in the Pilbara.

Aneisha Larry- I am a young Yindjibarndi woman, who grew up in Roebourne. I love going out on country, listening to my elders, and looking at my country. Law time is the best time where we go out on country to enjoy it. I recently started painting with the Juluwarlu Art Group and I enjoy it helps me connect more with my elders and learn more. I paint about the creation spirits and the elders long ago.
