Artist Profile
Sade Carrington was born on Texas Downs Station, East Kimberley in 1957. She was sent to school at Beagle Bay when she was four, then to Perth to complete her education. She worked in the homestead at Texas until 1980, when she joined her relatives at Warmun (Turkey Creek). Sade had married Churchill Cann, the head stockman at Texas Downs and who also went on to be an Internationally known Artist. They have three children – Dolorosa, Glen and Charlene – Charlene is now a celebrated Artist in her own right.
Sade travelled extensively with her art, both throughout Australia and overseas. In 1988 she was invited to present her painting to the Duchess of Kent during Her Highness’ visit to Adelaide. Sade has exhibited in London and The Netherlands and was invited to stay for six months at Galleries in Holland to demonstrate her technique in ochre painting. There, she exhibited successfully against artists in all mediums and had a solo exhibition at Boomerang Gallery in Amsterdam. On returning to Australia, her daughter Myria (named after Sade’s mother Betty Carrington) was born in Darwin. In 1997 Sade placed third in the prestigious National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards.
Sade’s fondest childhood memories are those of accompanying her father, Beerbee Mungnari, Henry Wambini and Jack Britten on their painting expeditions. In those days women and children were not taken to paint Purnululu but Jack would say “Let her come – she’s no trouble”.

Artwork Description
Purnululu, widely known as the Bungle Bungles, is one of the most breathtaking and culturally rich landscapes in the East Kimberley. This World Heritage-listed area is famous for its unique beehive-shaped domes, formed over 350 million years ago and banded with striking layers of orange and black sandstone.
For the artists who paint this Country, Purnululu holds deep cultural and personal meaning. Their connection to this land stretches back through time beyond measure, and continues today through stories, song, and painting.
The artworks capture Purnululu in all its changing moods – from soft pinks at sunrise to the deep reds of the hot season, golden yellows and dusty browns in the dry, blackened rock during storm time, and lush greens after the first rains. The colours shift constantly with the weather, light, and season.
As the artists say, “it’s just like magic – you can paint the same place at a different time of the day or year, and it never looks the same.”
Each painting is not just a depiction of the landscape, but a reflection of the artists’ enduring relationship with this remarkable place.
