Christine Winmar is a Noongar woman, born in Midland, Western Australia, in 1965. Her skin name is ‘Allawah’, which is an Aboriginal term meaning "Stay here. " Christine received instruction in painting from her father, a distinguished artist and didgeridoo craftsman, who imparted many aspects and techniques of Noongar art that are evident in her current work. Subsequently, she began to experiment with various styles and techniques, bolstered by the support of her family and friends. Additionally, Christine spent several years in the Kimberley region, where she further honed her skills by integrating techniques utilised by Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory.

 By 1997, Christine was selling her artworks through an Aboriginal art gallery in Perth. Her inaugural joint exhibition occurred shortly thereafter, in 2005, when she, alongside fellow artists Mingi May Barnes, Geoff Lindsey, and Tjinanginy, showcased their works in Perth and Cottesloe. 

 In 2009, Christine presented her work along with several other artists in the “Colours of Australia” exhibition held in both Perth and San Francisco.

 Christine engages with diverse media, including canvas, pottery, wood, and glass. She frequently employs dot techniques to create vibrant and colourful patterns.

The meanings behind her artwork

Often referred to as native companions or Australian cranes, these elegant grey birds are renowned for their impressive dancing displays, which seem to serve as both a source of enjoyment and part of their mating rituals. The Aboriginal people have celebrated their fluid movements through dance. Female vocal birds add a distinctive trumpeting sound to their performances. They move gracefully across the plains, and the essence of their dance exudes joy and spontaneity. Prepare for a celebration if a Brolga gently enters your life!

 In a famous Dreaming story about Brolga, she was portrayed as a beautiful girl who had an unyielding passion for dancing. A wirrinun (shaman) sought her as his wife, but she turned down his advances, as she did with all men. Her devotion was solely to dance, leaving no room for distractions. He nurtured resentment until one day, while witnessing her dance alone on the plain, he seized the opportunity to transform into a willy-willy (small whirlwind) to abduct her. The Great Spirit intervened, transforming her into the Brolga we recognise today. She continues to dance.

Brolga represents the power to pursue your creative passions and talents while receiving support. The girl was cared for by her tribe, allowing her to refine her skills, even when they weren't essential for survival. As a rare mark of respect, she was invited to dance at men’s corroborees. Brolga symbolises the idea of chasing dreams and expressing oneself creatively in a professional context. All it takes is believing in yourself and dedicating time – Brolga’s dance itself demonstrates the validity of self-expression!

 Clearly, the Brolga embodies creativity, particularly in dance and self-expression. She was an exceptional dancer, pouring all her energy into it. What talents do you possess in your life? Brolga performs her graceful dance of creative expression, inviting you to join her.

End of rope your dog or puppy can get the sting in it's mouth
Color: Blue
My puppy loves this toy ,but she can pull the string fiber off the rope so you have to watch that they don't eat the string. Wish the rope was made different with a hard knot at the ends. But my puppy loves the toy .I will just fix the end myself.

Loves it!
Color: Blue
This was a hit with my 9 month old puppy! He loves it! It's not his favorite toy but its not his least favorite either! I did have to retie the knots after he worked them out and that was difficult but doable!

my puppy's favorite!
Color: Pink
I recently bought this chew toy for my puppy, and it has been a fantastic addition to his toy collection! Durability: This toy is impressively durable. My puppy loves to chew, and it has held up really well against his enthusiastic gnawing. Design: The design is great! It’s the perfect size for my puppy to carry around, and the colors are vibrant and fun. He loves playing with it! Engagement: It keeps him entertained for hours. The texture seems to satisfy his chewing instincts, and it also helps with teething discomfort. Safety: I feel good knowing that it’s made from non-toxic materials. I’ve had no issues with pieces breaking off or causing any problems. Overall, I highly recommend this chew toy for any puppy owner. It’s durable, and engaging, and my puppy absolutely loves it!

My dog loves these toys.
Size: Mini, Color: Gator (Pink)
Not a huge toy, nor is my dog. But we have lots of goDog toys. Practically indestructible and my dog likes to carry these in his mouth and bring them onto the foot of our bed. Brilliant colors and good squeaker but my dog is afraid of the squeak. Fair value for cost.
