Daughter of the Lightning Snake

Noŋgirrŋa Marawili is regarded as one of the most important artists in Australia today. Working from the extraordinary landscape of her home in Yirrkala, north-eastern Arnhem Land, Marawili captures the atmospheric forces of water, wind and ocean as a celebration of Country and culture.

Daughter of the Lightning Snake represents a partnership between Maitland Regional Art Gallery, the Hassall Milson Collection and Buku-Larrngay Mulka Centre. The work in this exhibition is on loan from the Hassall Milson Collection Warrang/Sydney with curatorial assistance from Robert Hirschmann.
