About the Author

Ryhia Dank is a Gudanji/Wakaja woman from the Barkly Tablelands in the Northern Territory who grew up in a remote community in the Gulf of Carpentaria. She got to know her Country though the stories her family told, and through walking in the places and footprints her family has travelled since the beginning. Her painting is storywork, and tells stories through pattern and design. Ngurruwani Gudanji-marndi maga guda gurijba iligirra gamamjani (Gudanji people are from the fresh water and hill country.)
