She is the wife of senior artist Bobby Bununggurr (dec). While Lisa is often shy and quiet at the art centre, her true personality shines when she is out on Country. In the bush, gathering materials, she comes alive, laughing, telling funny stories, and sharing moments with the other women. Lisa loves working alongside the women weavers, harvesting and collecting natural fibres and dyes to create beautiful fibre art pieces that are deeply connected to place, culture, and community.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eArt Centre\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom fibre art to paintings depicting traditional stories—internationally renowned Bula’bula Arts supports 150 artist members from Ramingining and its surrounding outstations.

The story is depicted in unique Ramingining-style—steeped in spiritual, ritual and historical narratives across a variety of mediums: print, painting, sculpture, fibre art, song, dance, as well as film and literature mediums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText: Bula'bula Arts \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maningrida Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67922762170592,"sku":"420-26","price":801.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/4240\/files\/LisaLalaywarra130cm68cm1129.jpg?v=1791975570","url":"https:\/\/artark.com.au\/en-us\/products\/lisa-lalaywarra-woven-mat-130cm","provider":"ART ARK® ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
