Bag Charm featuring image of original artwork Sugar Leaf (Wanambang) by Brenda Ningarmara.
ARTWORK DESCRIPTION:
"In the hot time ants make sugar on big leaves. This sugar sits on top of that leaf, and you can pick it off and eat it. Really sweet just like sugar."
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
"I was born in Kununurra. I now have four children. I watch the old people painting - that's how I got started. It teaches me about Country. I am ready to take over the stories of my mother. I learnt from her to tell her stories and pass them on to my children and grandchildren."
Brenda is a dedicated artist, and her arts practice includes ochre painting and textiles. She also works at the art centre as a Miriwoong Tour Guide informing visitors about Miriwoong art and culture.
