The Inglis River has many moods. The estuary tide flows in and out revealing patterns, reflections with constant change. These three oils on panel are produced with palette knife, rubbings and brush creating many surface textures. They compliment each other and take up little space wither displayed horizontally of vertically.

Cat. No.: 257
Price: $8990
Description
This 60th birthday portrait of Annie Wonga was painted in 2000, before she received the Cassowary Award in 2006. It is set on her property beside Babinda Creek, close to the small township of Babinda, North Queensland, which is about 65 kms south of Cairns. Annie’s traditional name is Murrai, which means unconditional love of dogs. She is a descendant of the Madjanydji People who were custodians of the Lower Russell River and Woolanmarroo South to North Bramston Beach.
Although her ancestors spoke the Yidinji language, Annie was not encouraged to learn her language while growing up (probably because they were under the Act). However, she taught herself some language later in her adult life. Annie is the last of five Wonga siblings who never married. She spends her days as an active community member, volunteering for the Babinda information centre and church charity work, where she is loved and highly respected by all that come into contact with her.
