Story:
Minnie’s works are created in a linear style sometimes loose and free flowing or tight and clustered or a combination of both. Either way, Minnie’s ability to capture her long love of the land is always true. “Awelye-Atnwengerrp” is depicted by a series of lines painted in different widths and colours. This pattern represents the lines painted on the top half of the women’s bodies during ceremonies in their country of Atnwengerrp.
Minnie passed away on 18th March 2006 at her home in Atnwengerrp. She is survived by her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and siblings Margie, Molly, Emily, Geyla, Lois, Ally and Louie.
