Story from the certificate of authenticity:

In this painting, Leah shares her grandmother’s story, set in the Country of Lirrwarti — south of Balgo near Pippar.

This is the land where her grandmother, Ningie Nanala, spent her early years, and it holds deep personal and cultural significance.

Leah has depicted a kiliki (creek) flowing through this landscape, surrounded by an abundance of mangarri (bush foods), including kantilli and pintalypa (bush tomato), and kanpurrpa (wild raisins).



About Aboriginal Contemporary

Aboriginal Contemporary has an enviable reputation for quality, service and ethical trading; not just with our customers but with the art centres from whom we source our work.

This is in no small part due to owner Nichola Dare’s regular trips to some of the most remote parts of Australia and her ability to build relationships with art centres and artists, based on mutual trust and respect. Nichola’s time in Australia’s Western Desert, The Kimberley, APY Lands and Arnhem Land has also given her a deep understanding of the country and culture at the heart of the art we sell.
