BORN: AROUND 1962. PAAYA NEAR TJUKARLA (GIBSON DESERT), WESTERN AUSTRALIA

BARBARA’S DISTINCTIVE STYLE DEPICTS HER TRADITIONAL COUNTRY OF TJUKURLA IN THE GIBSON DESERT. HER PAINTINGS SHOW; PULI (ROCK FORMATIONS) AND TALI (SAND HILLS) OF THIS REGION. SHE ALSO PAINTS WOMEN’S CEREMONIAL STORIES (MINYMA) WHICH SHOW THE ROLES OF WOMEN AS HEALERS AND PROVIDERS WITHIN NGAANYATJARRA SOCIETY.
MANY OF THESE STORIES ARE MYTHS OF DREAMTIME. TO THIS DAY, SOME CEREMONIES ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC HOWEVER, MANY REMAIN SECRET. DEPICTION THROUGH PAINTINGS ARE AN IMPORTANT WAY OF PRESERVING THE DREAMINGS WHICH ARE REPRESENTED BY SYMBOLS.
BARBARA AND HER FAMILY CURRENTLY LIVE IN ALICE SPRINGS.
THIS PAINTING WAS PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM BARBARA, AND A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY WILL BE PROVIDED WITH THE SALE.
PLEASE NOTE: AS WITH ALL MY PAINTINGS, THESE ARE ORIGINAL ART WORKS AND SOMETIMES THERE MAY BE IRREGULARITIES IN THE ART WORK. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS A MAJOR FLAW IT WILL BE MENTIONED.
ALL MY PAINTINGS HAVE AN APPROXIMATE 5CM BORDER TO ALLOW FOR FRAMING OR WOOD MOUNTING
(IE IF CANVAS SIZE STATED IS 80CMX50CM, THEN THE ACTUAL PAINTED AREA WOULD BE APPROX 70CMX40CM).
THIS PAINTING IS FOR SALE ELSEWHERE AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY IF SOLD. FOR ENQUIRIES PLEASE CONTACT ME.
PAINTINGS COME UNFRAMED AND WILL BE MAILED VIA REGISTERED MAIL IN A SECURE AUSTRALIA POST TUBE.
I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE POSTAGE DEPENDING ON THE SIZE/WEIGHT OF THE SECOND PAINTING.
