Size: 40cm x 30cm

Artist Lily Karadada was born near the Prince Regent river, on the Mitchell Plateau, in Western Australia's far north. She was a prolific painter of the Rain Spirit, Wandjina, whose images and depictions are found in many caves and rock surfaces around the Kimberly region.

Lily painted the Wandjina figure as a compact and squat image, less elongated that many other representations and usually depicted the spirit in a veil of dots representing the rain generated by the spirit plus the blood/water bond between man and nature.

This original piece does have some slight damage on the bottom right-hand corner (see image above) but it does not lessen the creative endeavours of this world-renowned artist and of the artwork itself.
