Artist story:
Martha Lee is a Yawuru-Karajarri woman living in Broome, WA. The walga-walga (blue nose salmon) design comes from Martha’s great love and appreciation for this seasonal food. It is a favourite fish among all fisher people in the Kimberley. Martha loves going to her secret fishing spot during Barrgana season (June to August) with her family to try and catch this valued feed.
