“I was born at La Grange at the old hospital. I grew up there and have been there all my life with my parents. I started painng in 2015. What inspired me the most is the way the old people used to tell me stories about their Country and their families’ background. When they used to paint, they used the colours to represent the land, seas, flowers, animals and other things. ” – Bibianna Tumbler Bibianna’s painngs oen depict her Grandfather’s Country in the Great Sandy Desert, showing red desert sands, waterholes, wildflowers, and bush foods such as kumpaja (bush nuts).
