Ngangkari Ngura (Healing Country) is a work that comes from a profoundly intimate place. As a child, the artist was exposed to the deaths of several family members as a result of the British Government's Nuclear Testing on their land. As an adult, she spent her life redeeming the land through service to her people and her art.
In the artist's own words: "Through my paintings, you can see my Ngangkari (Healing) work: watching over people and also looking after Country. My Country. This place is very important -- and we all need to look after each other and respect our home." In this work, she assumes the role of an eagle passing over a wounded land bringing healing.
