This painting is of my home land, my mother’s, father’s and my children's totem country. It is about bush tucker and bush medicine. Plants, bush yams, flowers that grow along flat area, along the river.

“I was born in Port Hedland in the old hospital. We have moved around a lot. My parents settled down in Strelley and Warralong. After I had my children, I came here to Port Hedland. My children are still in Warralong. Here in Hedland, I have been watching the old people painting. It got me interested. I'm painting mainly of my homeland—my mother’s, father’s, and my children's totem country—about bush tucker and bush medicine. Plants, bush yams, and flowers that grow along the flat area, along the river.”

While every gallery can provide a certificate of authenticity, only those issued by community-run Aboriginal Art Centres ensure ethical purchasing and documentation. Any gallery can produce a certificate with an inkjet printer, but these do not guarantee ethical practices if they do not come from an Aboriginal community art centre. Alternate certificates are a big red flag. All of our paintings come with a certificate of authenticity provided by the community-run Aboriginal Art Centre, ensuring the gold standard for ethical purchasing.

We offer a lifetime money-back authenticity guarantee and 120-day returns to ensure you are always getting an authentic piece of art from ART ARK®. Your peace of mind in knowing you are purchasing genuine Aboriginal Art is important to us.
