Mabel Juli |
 Mabel was born c. 1933 at Five Mile, via Moola Bulla Station, East Kimberley Western Australia. She was raised in her mothers country, Springvale Station. The family then relocated to Bow River Station where Mabel worked as a young woman. Mabel is a highly respected Traditional Kitja Elder and acknowledged as one of the great First Generation Ochre artists. She began painting in the mid 1980s along with the late Queenie McKenzie and Madigan Thomas. Rover Thomas and Jack Britten (both deceased) were already attracting attention with their depictions of the country in ochre, and the women quickly followed, with in-depth Traditional Ngarrangkarni (Dreamtime) stories to explain their artworks. Queenie, Mabel and Madigan are renowned strong women, always workers, great organisers and teachers of culture to the young Kitja women. The content of Mabels paintings centres on Springvale (Darrajayn), as does the works of her brother International Artist Rusty Peters. Mabel has participated in many Exhibitions and was included in the prestigious Australian Heritage Commission Art Award in 1994. In 1995 she was part of the exhibition Paintings by Warmun Women in Canberra.

I wanted to send on an enormous thank you to your family and its business.
I picked up the painting today from the framers, it is absolutely mesmerising.
Thanks for making the purchase of this beautiful artwork possible.
All the best to you, I hope your business prospers and thrives.
Should we consider another purchase in the coming years we will look you up,
and you will be highly recommended to anyone else we know who is interested in Aboriginal art.
Nyree, VIC
I received Deanne Peters's work today in the post.
This is the first ever piece of art that I have bought let alone through the Internet.
I love it. I appreciated the opportunity to buy a piece that I work afford within my
budget and I think it is a great idea to produce smaller pieces.
Now I just have to start saving for another.
Amanda, Ireland
Thanks so much. Ms Peter's work is absolutely beautiful.
I must stop looking at the website.
I'll run out of wall space!
Louise, ACT

Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to receive Helen’s Water Dreaming.
I like the drawing and the colours a lot. Christopher Churchill’s Desert Nights is my favourite picture.
Often I pass by, have a look at it and smile. It is a very special picture for me.

The most beautiful Kudditji painting has arrived this morning, it is so magnificent.
It took my breath away!! Thank you very much.
Karen, NSW
I received my beautiful Bush Leaves canvas by Jeannie Petyarre last week.
I bought it on a very rushed visit to Kununurra enroute from Warmun to Darwin.
The minute I saw it I knew it was what I had been looking for.
It is at the framers now for stretching onto a frame. I can not wait to hang it in my home.
Thank you so much for getting it to me in such good condition.
I'm so glad I popped into your gallery for what I said would be a "quick walk through.
Luckily my friend in Warmun had said "make sure you go to Artlandish".
Having had the opportunity to spend time in an indigenous community
I feel blessed to have such a beautiful artwork.
Please place me on your mailing list.
Best wishes
Sue
