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
Provenance: Purchased by Narrangunny Arts from Waringarri Arts, 1999
Peggy was born in 1950 on Newry Station in the far north-west of the Northern Territory. She is a senior law and culture woman. Peggy’s father, Frank Moore, worked as a stockman on the cattle station. She then relocated with her mother Dianah Dingil to Ivanhoe Station in the East Kimberley (Western Australia), and attended school until the age of 15. Old Argyle Station was her next home, when she married Alan Griffiths, a stockman and drover who went on to become an Internationally renowned artist and senior Elder and Lawman.
Peggy commenced carving artefacts in 1985, and soon after progressed to painting with the first art centre in the region, Waringarri Arts, where she is now a senior artist and former Chairperson.
Peggy’s paintings are delicate in colour and style and meticulously executed. She uses natural ochre pigments with immaculate fine brushwork to depict her Traditional country. Peggy’s quote – “That’s the spirit, still alive in my country. I paint this country because I know it and because I want other people to know this is my country.”
Her list of collections and exhibitions is impressive – Peggy was the first Indigenous artist to win the Fremantle Print Award in 1995. In November 2008, six very large works by Peggy were showcased in the prestigious “West Meets East” exhibition in Perth, Western Australia. The paintings depicted her traditional country in the Keep River National Park area, on the border of Western Australia and the Northern Territory. At the opening, one piece was immediately acquired by Parliament House Collection, Canberra.
In 2014 Peggy was the overall winner of one of WA’s most prestigious art awards, the Kimberley Art Prize.
