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 alongside 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

In Aboriginal culture, dolphins are often linked to the human spirit and symbolise the importance of a balanced life.

 One scorching day, three children were travelling with their families. The heat was so intense that it drained everyone's energy, making it difficult to continue. The adults settled down and instructed their children to stay close and not stray. However, by day's end, the children were missing.

 The adults began searching for them, tracing their footprints, which led to the edge of a cliff where they came to a sudden halt. The children were not playing in the sea and were nowhere to be seen. After running off to explore, they discovered a body of water and jumped in, thinking it was a billabong. Once they dove in, they realised their error and were pulled into the sea. They called for help in desperation, but they had strayed too far from the group for anyone to hear them.

 Just then, Boomali, a sea spirit, came to their rescue. He saved the children but knew they had acted recklessly and disobeyed, so he decided to teach them a lesson by transforming them into dolphins. They could enjoy endless playtime in the sea for the rest of their lives but would never again see their families.

Solar light quit, soon after I got it, battery maybe, but I love the angel and its design.
Color: White, Color: White
Love the detail of the angel, the facials features the details in the wings love the rose vine! Great garden decor the solar lights only worked the first day i even checked the battery position and the on off switch, I am assuming the battery died, but I can get another solar light i still love the design.

Good Quality
Color: White
This is absolutely beautiful. The lighting is ambient and not bright, with a warm glow (not as bright as the photos), and the charge lasts about 3 hours, give or take. The plaster mold is done very well so that it looks high end. It is also high-quality because I dropped it and it didn't break. For this reason, the price is right. This would be a great gift, but also a wonderful ornament for the yard or even as a welcome at the front door.

Looks nice, and works well but the light doesn't fit well.
Color: White
I have mixed feelings about this little angel light. I got it for my mom, and she really loves it, and it looks great on the edge of the garden by the walkway up to the house. It doesn't provide a lot of light, but what it does offer is just enough at night to help people navigate until they're close enough for our motion activated porch light to turn on. The light however just doesn't come installed in the figure and doesn't fit very well into the hole it's supposed to sit in. I used some thick double sided tape as a gasket to hold it in place and solved the problem, but it's worth noting anyway. As for overall quality, it's ok, but not great. The figure is made of resin (plastic), and is fairly thin and not very strong. It's also very light and can be knocked or blown over by wind very easily. The casting on the angel itself is ok, but the socket the light sets into was misshapen and I also had to clean it up to even get the light to fit into it. (There was some flashing at the bottom of the hole that prevented it from sitting all the way down) Battery life seems to be pretty good, and lasts through the night as long as it gets enough sun during the day, but on cloudy days it tends to only last a few hours at most. And the light sensor does work well, it comes on right at dusk. As for value I'm not sure I'd say it's a great deal for the current price, but if you can find it on sale might be worth getting. Of course on anything decorative value is subjective and depends largely on how much you like the look of it. As always if I encounter any other issues or think of anything else to add I'll update this review!

solar figurine
Color: White
I recently added these angel figurines to my garden, and they are absolutely lovely. The solar-powered feature lights them up at night, creating a soft, peaceful glow that highlights my patio and lawn beautifully. The statues are well-crafted and durable, holding up nicely in sun and rain, and the white finish looks elegant against my greenery. They also make a thoughtful gift for moms or garden lovers. Overall, these are charming, functional, and decorative outdoor angel statues that add a serene touch to any garden or balcony.

Beautifully made sturdy angel statue!
Color: White
This outdoor angel statue is so well done! The craftmanship on it is amazing! Easy to hook in light. I do note that the light is a little wobbly in the holder section, but it looks fantastic! Lights up nicely! The wings and the detail on the angel really are well done. This statue is beautiful! It is pretty sturdy too. Looks well inside, but definitely will be a nice touch to my garden! Seems to be weather resistant as well!
