Aboriginal Art
Australian aboriginal art represents a visual history of the stories, song, dance and spiritual beliefs of the indigenous people of Australia. It plays an important cultural role in the "passing on" of traditions, myths and history. Originally, the art was painted on surfaces such as walls of caves, rocks and aboriginal bodies for ceremonies. The form and style of Australian aboriginal art is very different by region in Australia and by artist. Indigenous Australian art is tribal in nature, often with imperfections, with colour and iconography or symbols used as part of the story telling process.
We believe that Australian aboriginal art is just beginning to be recognised world wide for its cultural significance, its artistic diversity, its natural beauty, and its affordability.

Lorna Fencer Naparrula
c1920 - 2006

Lorna, atypical of many contemporary Aboriginal artists, also uses a palette of vibrant colours.
