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 around a wooden frame 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
My name is Russellina Puruntatameri, I am a proud Tiwi woman from the Tiwi Islands which is 80kms north of Darwin. I was born in Darwin in October 1989 and raised on the Tiwi Islands.
My father is Russell Black (skin group: Takaringini) and my mother is Lydwina (Nina) Puruntatameri (skin group: Lorrula). I am the oldest of 5, I have two sisters and two brothers. I have been living in Melbourne, Victoria with my three daughters and partner for 5 years.
I developed my artistic skills from my family back at home where I grew up at Pirlangimpi (Garden Point) on Melville Island, at the local art centre and by watching and listening to their stories. My mum is a well-known artist and has been painting since before I was born, she still paints back home. She’s always sending tips and stories that she has passed down to me. Painting reminds me of being back home and also makes me think a lot of my grandfather who passed away in 1996. He was a carver making Pukumani (totem poles) and so was my uncle Tracy Puruntatameri. It is important to keep our Tiwi culture strong for the little children when they grow up, so they can learn our culture (stories, dances, language and art).
Artwork Description
Yirringarni is one of the Tiwi traditional vegetation classifications meaning billabong, swamp or waterhole. Waterholes are the principal source of life in the outback and form sacred sites where people meet for physical and spiritual sustenance.
They are both social and sacred sites for Aboriginal communities and the rivers and gullies that link them form natural pathways for people to travel between them. Connected waterholes are one of the most common symbols in Aboriginal art.
