How Artworks Are Sent

Ochre / Kimberley artworks are shipped on canvas or linen, already stretched, ready to hang unless stated otherwise.

Acrylic artworks are shipped on canvas or linen un-stretched, rolled up in a cardboard tube unless stated otherwise.

These artworks will need to be stretched on a stretcher board before hanging.

This can be done by nearly any picture framer (highly recommended) or you can DIY if you’re confident in your handiwork.

There are numerous "how to" videos on YouTube showing you how to achieve this.

Artist Profile

C. 1931 – 2011

Beerbee Mungnari was born on Waterloo Station, Northern Territory in c. 1931.  Like so many of the Kimberley painters of his generation, he was a stockman and drover, working on many stations including Argyle, Hahn Springs, Lissadell, Texas and Rosewood. 
Beerbee (pronounced Birribee) grew up on Rosewood, but recalls the family’s trips to Waterloo Station for holidays at Christmas.  After retiring from stock work, he lived for a time at Wyndham, then located to Turkey Creek, where he and his late wife worked in the school and taught the kids – “it was just a bow shed then, that school”. He has six children –  Denise Mung is an Emerging Artist and often paints in her father’s strong style, whilst his youngest daughter Marika is producing precise and delicately executed works still accompanied by the Dreaming Stories of the country that Beerbee has passed on to his family.
 Beerbee lived for many years at Frog Hollow Community with his friends, senior artists Jack Britten and Henry Wambini but moved to Turkey Creek after they passed away. Beerbee painted his country where he was born and worked in a distinctive style. Until his death in December 2011, Beerbee was the Senior male ochre artist in the Kimberley Region and the last of the first generation male ochre artists.  

He is represented in Corporate and Private Collections worldwide including the National Gallery and his works are much sort after by collectors. A true gentleman, his passing leaves an indelible hole in the ochre art movement.

Artwork Description

This place here is where we drove the cattle down to the water in that green part called Mosquito Creek. Really good land around here. All under water now since they made that dam. We’d get up at sunrise, better to work in the cooler part of the day, that’s why I put that orange in, the colour of the country as the sun comes up.

Loving how Kirstie finds brilliant artists and shares not only the artwork, but the back story of both the piece AND the artist. You can tell she absolutely loves Aboriginal art, and she has such great rapport with the artists.
