Artwork Description

Ngapungai is a Mutti Mutti language word meaning Grandmothers.
Mutti Mutti, or Madi Madi are the people of the Mallee, near the Murray river, Lachlan river and Murrumbidgee river.
Every circle represents a Grandmother in Spirit. This is an expression of how our Grandmothers work as our guardians and guides and how they are connected to one another too.
This is a large scale artwork and images do not do it justice.

Member of the Indigenous Art Code (IartC).
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.
