Australian/Tasmanian Art

Star, or Seven Sisters Dreaming, by Justinna Napaljarri Sims

During my recent visit, I fell for several pieces of art. Unfortunately, the ones I liked were out of my price range. But I did buy cards in local art stores, an affordable alternative.

My favorite piece, Seven Sisters Dreaming (above) I found at an art store and gallery on the Hobart waterfront. The artist, Justinna Napaljarri Sims, resides in Yuendumu, 290 km north-west of Alice Springs.

My sister purchased this card in Australia and gave it to me for my birthday. It is ‘Little Penguins’ by Lisa Morgan. It was perfect and I love it. lamorgan31@gmail.com
