Dreaming’s: Wallaby, Bush Tucker, Women’s Ceremony

Lucy grew up in Yuendumu, an Aboriginal settlement on the edge of the Tanami Desert, 290km north west of Alice Springs.

She didn’t produce a large body of work as a painter, it was more of a hobby for her.

She painted the stories of the wallaby, bush tucker collected by the women and women’s ceremony.

Employing the traditional dot style and utilizing iconography, Lucy skillfully portrayed the ancestral stories and Dreaming’s that had been handed down to her.
