Gregory Gorge

About the Artwork:

Yindjibarndi people walk around and through Gregory gorge and the top of the gorge was the best place to look out on Country.  

About the Artist:

Sharona is a young emerging Yindjibarndi Artist who began creating yarranga marni (carved boards) and acrylic paintings in 2017 as part of Juluwarlu’s Nyinyart Yinda Water Artists Cultural Futures Residencies Programs. Sharona draws upon themes of her Yindjibarndi relationships with rain, yinda (deep permanent pools), and ijarri (springs) that bring life to the plants, animals, fish and insects that have nourished Yindjibarndi people for more than 2,000 generations. Sharona’s artwork has been shown and sold at Perth-based exhibitions and in the Pilbara.
