Marlene Juli


Aboriginal Artist Marlene Juli


Marlene was born in Kununurra, East Kimberley Western Australia on 8th November 1975.  She resides at Warmun Community with her family.  Marlene was educated at Warmun and then Broome, is an extremely well spoken lady and has been painting since 1997.  Prior to having her own family (three boys and a girl) she worked at the Warmun Child Care Centre and Pensioner unit.
 
Marlene comes from a painting family – her mother is Mabel Juli, one of the best known Senior Ochre artists and her uncle was the renowned Hector Jandany (dcsd.). Marlene’s content of her artwork is her mother’s country (Darragyn) Springvale, and her deceased father’s country just over the Northern Territory Border. She admits she does not know her father’s country quite as well as Mabel’s, but his stories have been passed down to her by her paternal grandparents.

She has participated in Group Shows with the best of the Warmun artists – is a thinking, naturally talented artist whose works are sort after by collectors both in Australia and overseas.  She is without a doubt one of the shining lights of the third generation of ochre artists of the Kimberley.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

One of the unique skills Artists from the Kimberely region possess is the ability to mix the natural ochre pigments to create truly spectacular colours, shadings and effects that give ochre artworks a uniqueness unseen in any other style of art anywhere in the world.
