The organizers could have tried harder…
…But the best part was meeting artist Janice Murray and her son. Janice Murray is the Tiwi artist who creates the enchanting Tiwi Bird Sculptures and will be coming to visit us next year to open her new show.
Artist Nancy McDinny from Baraloolah whose wonderful works can be found at the gallery.
We are absolutely delighted with our purchase of a self portrait by Jean Baptiste Apuatimi. Jean danced her way into the gallery during our Songline’s summer, with her amazing solo exhibition Tapalinga which means star.
