The essence of Tanya’s unique style is articulated by her tree bark textured pen sketches. You may find her in a corner of the local coffee shop quietly interpreting her dreams though these sketches.
Tanya hails from the Gundidtjmara tribe in the Western Victorian town of Warrnambool where she grew up.
Warrnambool is also home to an ancient volcanic crater called Tower Hill, where you will often bump into Tanya. Her tribe occupied this area even before the last eruption of the Tower Hill volcano about 34,000 years ago. Her artistic talent derives from the Gundidtjmara belief that the volcanic landscape features marks out the traces of a divine “creator.”, which is what inspires Tanya’s art.
Tanya is part of the Worn Gundidj Aboriginal Cooperative where she helps support their various initiatives including school excursions to Tower Hill and educating the public of indigenous culture and cuisine.
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.
