About the design:
Daisybell describes this painting as Walka – any meaningful mark or pattern and may be an image on a cave wall, on rock or on sand and can have cultural significance. This painting depicts tjulpun tjulpunpa or wildflowers from the bush. They can be seen in all forms throughout the lands, especially after the big rains fall.

Daisybell Tjalumi Kulyuru was born in Ernabella in 1971. She has previously worked at Ernabella Arts where she learnt to paint and make batik. Daisybell worked at Ernabella School as an Aboriginal Education Worker for many years and now lives with her two children between Adelaide and Ernabella.
