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.

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

“At school art was my favourite subject.”
Josephine Burak is a talented Tiwi artist whose creative journey has been shaped by the strong cultural knowledge passed down through her mother, Lydia Burak, a respected keeper of traditional healing practices. Josephine learned both carving and painting from her mother and often crafts her own pwoja (painting comb), refining it so it suits the exact marks and textures she wants to create.
Her work frequently reflects the Kulama Ceremony, an important Tiwi cultural event, and her intricate linework often echoes the rhythm and structure of star maps, giving her paintings a distinctive celestial quality.
Deeply involved in her community, Josephine has previously served as a director of the Art Centre. She now works as its Assistant Manager, where she plays a key role in daily operations while continuing her artistic practice.

Artwork Description
Wantarringa is the Tiwi word for Sun. In the morning when the (wantarrina) sun rises up it’s a new day and it shines upon our Beautiful Land.
Back in the old days when the old people went out hunting, they would look up and knew the time by when the sun (wantarringa) is up and when the sun (wantarringa) is going down. That’s when they knew it was time to go back to the campsite.
