Mabel Dungay |
I am Mabel Dungay and have lived on the south coast for 16 years. I was born at Kempsey in 1941, Burnt Bridge Mission, with my Mum and Dad and sisters and brothers. I went to Burnt Bridge school until I was 15 and I wasn’t able to go to high school because of my colour.
I then travelled around and I had my family. My late sister Helen encouraged me to go to TAFE I have been studying since 1995 and have completed an Advanced Diploma of Visual Arts West Wollongong TAFE.
I paint about my feelings that make patterns I also paint my memories of the land of my home.
Wollongong City Regional Gallery have 2 of my artworks in their collection. I have exhibited at Wollongong University and had my artwork travel as part of a national exhibition to Geelong. I recently exhibited in Paris.
The knowledge I have gained I pass onto my children and grandchildren to keep Aboriginal Culture alive.
