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
Judy was born on Newry Station and grew up learning about station life. After Newry her mother and step father shifted to Carlton Hill station where her mother worked in the kitchen. Judy watched all the older women working as cooks and making breads. She also lived at Ivanhoe Station and Argyle Station. In 1965 her mother died and welfare shifted Judy and her sister to Beagle Bay Mission. She returned from the mission in 1971 and settled in Kununurra.
Judy has four children. She started painting in the mid 1990’s. She mostly paints the country around Binjin – Bucket Springs (Keep River National Park N.T.) which is her mother’s country and Milligan near Bullo River (Northern Territory) which is her father’s country. She paints these places to keep alive the stories and places of her parents so that she can pass knowledge to her children and grandchildren.

Story of The Artwork
I’ve painted that bush medicine and bush tucker that you find in my mother’s country (Bucket Springs – Binjin in language). There are lots of billabongs that come from the creek overflow especially in the wet season. I’ve painted those billabongs here.
That’s where the bush tucker grows – sugarbag, gooseberry, bush plum, wattle seeds, all sorts in this one painting. Some of those seeds, that’s bush soap, you use the wattle seed and when it dries it goes black and you use it as soap and it goes all bubbly. When we go bush we use it in the billabong.
