Master painter and turtle catcher Margaret was raised on the Catholic Mission in Daly River.
She arrived in Peppimenarti in the 70s with 10 children, and jokes that she doesn’t know how many grandkids she has. Margaret’s
works are sublime interpretations of Durrmu: traditional body painting
designs applied to male and female torsos for ceremonial dance. Subtle
and meticulous mark making contribute to the mesmerizing quality
Margaret’s work possesses.
