Renowned Noongar artist Yondee Shane Hansen was born in the southwestern region of Western Australia in 1964, specifically in Dumbleyung, located 270 km south of Perth. His father imparted knowledge of hunting and the creation of sand drawings, while his visits to his aunties on the Swan River involved the collection of paper bark in aiding in their artistic endeavours. These experiences formed the foundation of his artistic education, as his older relatives, known for their paper bark paintings, became his initial instructors.

Addressing his current artistic practice, Yondee Shane Hansen stated, "I create sand paintings by collecting sand from the creeks. Once washed to remove salt, the sand exhibits a smoother texture from the creeks. After multiple washes and sieving, it becomes suitable for use when mixed with paint. My paintings' combination of black and white sand conveys a simple yet powerful message."

As a seasoned artist, Yondee Shane Hansen has developed techniques to utilize sand and ochres to depict his people's narratives and legends. In addition to these traditional representations, he produces detailed figurative works encompassing themes such as mission life, hunting, and animals. Despite the abstract nature of his works, they remain narrative. Yondee, having acquired his grandfather's knowledge of ground paintings during childhood, aspires to preserve and elevate these art forms. He believes that translating them into sand paintings does justice to their origins and extends their reach to new audiences. The artist's bush name, Yondee, translates to Black Goanna.

Yondee Shane Hansen has collaborated with the Campfire group of Aboriginal artists in Brisbane and has showcased his artwork in galleries across Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, and internationally, including the United States, the Czech Republic, and Ireland.

About the Painting

Midden Shells served as a dietary mainstay for both freshwater and saltwater tribes. Coastal shell middens contain the remains of shellfish eaten by Aboriginal people. They can consist of the shells from a single meal or many different meals eaten in the same location over many years.

They can also contain the remains of a more varied diet, including fish, seal and kangaroo. Charcoal and hearth stones from fires, as well as other cultural items such as stone and bone artefacts, can also be present.

Lightweight, no pilling over moisturizer
Style: Acne/Rosacea Prone Skin
I tried this sunscreen after previously using EltaMD UV Clear and I won't go back. I wanted something without octinoxate and that wouldn't pill when layered over my moisturizer (Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer). This does the job perfectly. It's lightweight and feels great on my skin. So far, no breakouts.

Sunscreen with Niacinamide La Roche-Posay
Style: Acne/Rosacea Prone Skin
This sunscreen has been a real discovery. Its light texture absorbs quickly, leaves no greasy feeling or white residue, and is perfect for daily use even under makeup. Since I use it, I feel my skin more protected, hydrated and with a more uniform tone. The combination of high sun protection with niacinamide is a success: it helps prevent spots, soothes the skin and improves its texture over time. In addition, it does not clog pores or cause outbreaks, which is ideal for sensitive skin or skin with a tendency to acne. It is effective, comfortable to wear and fulfills what it promises. If you are looking for a sunscreen that not only protects, but also cares for and improves your skin, this is a safe investment.

Easy to apply and wear -
Style: Acne/Rosacea Prone Skin
This is good stuff! I do not wear makeup, ever. I also have never been a moisturizer fancy soap kind of gal. Not great about putting sunscreen on my face- all products are heavy and not right for me. And along comes this sunscreen and I go for it and now wear it daily!!! So easy to apply, not greasy, not heavy feeling. Rubs invisible easily. This is good stuff. Worthy and it seems to also really work!! I highly recommend it. I am not paid for my reviews. I’m just like you.
