We’re continuously blown away by Lorraines artistic versatility. Lorraine is always challenging herself to master a new medium. Not only a skilled carver, she’s also a beautiful painter and expert screen printer. She also finds time every day to help out the injalak office with daily operations. We are so lucky to have her!
Keep an eye out for this piece on our website🔥
Shaun Namarnyilk working on his latest master piece!
He is a a pro at the Rock Art style. Shaun likes using large scale paper or canvas and layering up different imagery of animals and spirits to tell stories.

Naaman Nayilibidj Nakobang’s brand new painting of Yawkyawk (water spirit)💫
As the rain comes and the artists are bringing in so many beautiful paintings we are learning that with the wet season comes the Yawkyawks 🌧✨
Sometimes they are described as ‘mermaids’ who live in trees and water in special places in west Arnhem Land.
Just a friendly reminder to consider ordering from our website or Esty store early this year…we don't want any gifts to arrive after santa does!
Keep in mind that we are just an art centre and there are always plenty of things on so its best to give us a little time to pack and ship your orders before the Australia post cut off 😊
