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 uses dot techniques to create vibrant, 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.

Great for everyday use
We use these daily. I buy the complete set then boxes of each to refill. Very sturdy utensils. Size is perfect. Very easy to clean to use after dinner for deserts. Knives work very well and fork ends are sharp enough to stick in your food to eat. Only brand we use now.

Great quality!
These are every bit as good as the more expensive plastic ware. They’re thick and sturdy. I particularly like the cutouts in the handle. They’re easier for me to grip and keep ahold of. Extremely happy with this purchase.

Great product
Style: Standard, Size: 3 Count
Title: Good product, worth buying “I’m happy with this purchase. The product arrived on time and was easy to use. The quality is good for the price, and it works as expected. I’ve been using it for a few days and haven’t had any major issues. There are a couple of small things that could be improved, but overall it does the job well. I would recommend it to others looking for a reliable option.”

A must have for great tasting water
Style: Standard, Size: 6
These Brita filters are a staple in my house. They’re super easy to swap out and start working right away. The difference in water taste is noticeable—no more chlorine or odd aftertaste, just clean, fresh water. I love buying the multi-pack because it lasts for months and saves me from constantly reordering. Each filter holds up well and keeps the water consistently tasting great. It’s also a great alternative to bottled water, which saves money and cuts down on plastic use. Simple, reliable, and totally worth it!

Fast, quality filtration
Style: Standard, Size: 3 Count
Bought these for our Brita pitcher. Three in a pack is a good number for the price. They fit perfectly, as they should. No issues with leaking or clogging. We have pretty good water anyway but it's nice to run it through one more thing just to make sure. These work very quickly, especially compared to how I remember Britas working when I was a kid.
