Her skills have been passed on through the Tjukurpa, the law and way of life governing her country. Marli uses traditional storytelling techniques to create new ways of sharing her cultural knowledge. Her modern style brings elements of nature together into imaginative, vibrant contemporary breathtaking artwork.
Vivian Crisp Gallery will host a range of local and regional South Australian Aboriginal artists exhibiting artwork as part of Healing Country – Healing Nation, curated by Marika Davies, a proud Wangkangurru woman of the Simpson Desert, Birdsville area.
