A fabulous collection of original artworks remains available for sale from the “We are Gooniyandi” – The Collectors Exhibition. First Nation Gooniyandi people from the Aboriginal Community of Kurinyjarn, located in the rugged hill country of the Mueller Ranges, The Kimberley, Western Australia. Their aim is to preserve their traditional ways, holding strong their language, telling their stories through art and passing on knowledge from one generation to the next.

Their art and craft makers produce exceptional works. They seek ways to explore opportunities to earn a living from their craft, to provide well for their families, free from obstruction and domination by those who seek to destroy their livelihood. They have the right to maintain their traditional way of life and move their mob forward to build a better future by taking the necessary steps in education and advancement, to be what they know they can.

Girrwarli paintings and artifacts represent a rich and colourful history, dating back some sixty-five thousand years. The purchase of Girrwarli artwork makes a positive difference in the lives of Gooniyandi Artists. Their beautiful works are currently on display and available for sale from Straddievarious Gallery on Raby Bay Harbour.
