Malaluba Gumana’s cross-hatched water lily designs were created through her use of the marwat – a “hairbrush” that can create the finest of lines painted in natural ochres and pigments. A recipient of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award for bark painting in 2013, Gumana mainly painted her mother’s Gålpu clan designs of dhatam (waterlily), djari (rainbow), djayku (file-snake) and wititj (olive python). Her work is held in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia and the Art Gallery of New South Wales as well as prominent private collections.
