Lorraine Namarnyilk "Sugarbag Dreaming" 51cm x 71cm on
Arches Djurra 600g.

This painting depicts a sugarbag person from country east of the Mann River. The people were living in the area when Wak, the black crow, became angry that they were stealing his country so cut them in half with a stone axe. They became mankung or sugarbag, the honey of native bees that is found in hives in tree hollows. The bees do not sting and if it can be found, mankung is delicious. The wax is used for a number of purposes including sealing the mouthpieces of didjiridus.

Groundbreaking research has identified that levels of genetic diversity among Indigenous Australians may be among the highest in the world.

First Nations people first arrived on the Australian continent more than 65,000 years ago and dispersed to every corner of the country, where both strong cultural and genetic diversity developed between groups.

"An Australian Billionaire Tried to Suppress an Aboriginal Artist’s Unflattering Portrait of Her. It’s Only Drawn More Attention"

At a soirée:

"Gina, have you met The Streisand Effect?"

"No, I haven't had the pleasure."

"You two are going to get along fabulously. Let me fetch her..."

Portrait of Aboriginal Artist Linda Syddick Napaltjarri
Linda's Dreaming Paintings were inspired by her nomadic life in the desert, and the Dreaming of her father and stepfather. Linda's father died when Linda was about 18 months old; her stepfather, artist Lankata Shorty Tjungurrayi, raised her and before he died in 1985, he asked Linda to carry on his work and paint his Dreaming.

Robert Hannaford is an Australian artist known for his realist paintings, portraits and sculptures

Today I completed the Kununurra - Warmun section in the #rundownunder virtual #challenge .

Warmun, once known as Turkey Creek, is a quiet and tiny Aboriginal settlement on the Great Northern Road between Broome and Kununurra. It is now run by the local Warmun community who have constructed a roadhouse, accommodation facilities and an impressive art gallery. The community promote the town as the principal access point to Purnululu National Park and the famous Bungle Bungles. Although it was known as Turkey Creek for most of its life, in recent times it has reverted to the Kitja name for the area which is Warmun.

Warmun has been the home to some of the most admired of Australia's Aboriginal artists, particularly exponents of what has become known as East Kimberley Aboriginal Art. The most famous of all the local artists was Rover Thomas who, while being born in the Great Sandy Desert south of Warmun, moved to Turkey Creek where he developed a unique style of painting. He died in 1998 but his influence remains.
