By Wendy Pawley
The ancient Nandewar’s Mountains Ningadhun, Yulludunita, and Kaputah are situated in the vicinity of the town of Narrabri – Nurraburai Northwest NSW they also encompass the Namoi Valley where Kamilaroi people hunted and gathered food for thousands and thousands of years.
Artist Info - Wendy Pawley
Wendy Pawley is from the Kamilaroi - Gomeroi, Gamilaraay people of Narrabri Northwest NSW. The meaning of Narrabri / Nurraburai is “Place of Forked Waters”. Wendy’s mother (the late) Mrs Noeleen Saunders (nee Trindall) was a widely known respected Traditional Owner of Narrabri and surrounding areas.
Wendy paints her “Mother’s Country” predominantly the ancient spectacular rugged mountains of The Nandewar Ranges Ninghdoo, Kaputah, Yulludunida and Yulludanda that rise majestically above the Namoi Valley.
The range is the remnants of an eroded basaltic shield volcano that formed about 18 million years ago, the volcanic plug in Gamilaraay language is called Ninghdoo / Nungadhun (pronounced locally as Ningy-doo).
We collaborate with Indigenous Artists and Communities around Australia many of whom continue to receive royalties or alternatively outright payments for their designs. Your support has a direct financial benefit for many of the indigenous communities from which our designs are sourced through either these Royalties or through our donations from The Bulurru Foundation to many worthwhile projects that take place in the communities.
