Dreams of Mungo No.1

As we journey on this land there are few places that reach right into the centre of us and remind us why we are here. Lake Mungo is that place for me. The journey place of my Ancestors, the Mutti Mutti people (as well as other language groups). This place was a stomping ground for my bloodline, and I feel them so powerfully still dancing there. And so I need to express that through a painting. Through the colours that dance within me from my experiences there.

I am a proud Mutti Mutti woman from the Mallee region of the New South Wales/ Victorian border, growing up along the banks of the Murray River and the eucalyptus trees.
I come from a strong matriarchal, lineage and grew up surrounded by the art of my Aunty’s and Mother, Annabelle Sharman. I was often allowed to join in and paint providing I helped with upcoming expos/ making cuppas etc. I also spent time being babysat by my Uncle, an amazing didge artist. I spent alot of time watching him burn Murray cod, perch, goanna and kangaroos onto didgeridoos and clap sticks.
I moved at the age of 18 and have been living and loving Yuin Country, along the South Coast of New South Wales from the age of 19, with my husband and son. I am a contemporary, intuitive artist; drawing inspiration from the colours of Mother Earth, and her songs. Current mediums used in my works include canvas and acrylic. Paint offerings include sales of original artworks and commissions.
