Artwork Description

Mango Chicken is a cheeky take in the Magpie Goose who arrives in the Northern Territory when the Mango trees are about to fruit, and leaves when they are at the tail end of the fruit bearing cycle. The arrival of the Magpie Geese symbolise the start of the Dry Season and their departure announces the start of the Wet Season. Their main food during this period are the over ripe mangoes that fall to the ground. Hence why they are affectionately known as Mango Chickens.

Artist Bio

Australian Contemporary Kamilaroi Dot Artist, now living on Boon wurrung Country, in Naarm, Victoria, Australia. My First Nation Aboriginal art is more of a neo-traditional Abstract interpretation of Australia’s first artists.
Painting using a bright pallet of colours, all which feed into a rich vibrancy is reflected in each and every artwork created.
Connection to country through my visual interpretation and use of colour. Connection to Community through the use of traditional Kamilaroi symbolism. Respect for my elders for allowing me to share their stories. The stories of dreaming.
Member of Indigenous Art Code proudly protecting artist and buyer from cultural appropriation.
Member of Aboriginal Art Association of Australia.
