ABOUT THE ARTIST

Juluwarlu Art Group is a collective of Yindjibarndi artists who celebrate Yindjibarndi Country, culture and language through a diverse range of artistic practices. The collective is based in Ieramagadu (Roebourne), a town of approximately 900 people which is located in the remote north-western Pilbara region of Western Australia, while the ancestral homeland of the artists, Yindjibarndi Country, surrounds the nearby Millstream Tablelands and Fortescue River area.

A respected Elder and holder of Yindjibarndi cultural knowledge from the tableland, Millstream way, Tootsie Daniels is a committed contributor to the Roebourne community. She has a Graduate Diploma in Aboriginal Community Development from Curtin University, and is involved in video and performance arts, often travelling to Perth and interstate. She began painting ten years ago as a means of healing after the death of her son, painting our Yindjibarndi stories, and our plants and seasons: for instance, Big Yundi is a story about rain, Widwij is the wind, Ganajii is thunder. Her work has been included in many Perth-based exhibitions. Tootsie is among those who created the Nyinyart Yinda Water Arts, Language and Cultural Futures Project and the innovative intergenerational Juluwarlu Art Group.
