Collection: Marita Baker

Marita Baker is an accomplished Indigenous artist from the Fregon APY Lands in Australia. Her paintings are inspired by the Minyma Malilu Dreaming, a significant aspect of the cultural heritage of the Indigenous people of Australia. In her work, Marita brings to life the ancient stories and traditions surrounding Minyma Malilu, who was a creation being from the Tjukurpa (Dreamtime). The tale tells of Minyma Malilu as a crippled woman who collected bush foods and water with her digging stick and collecting bowl. Despite the difficulties she faced, she gathered a variety of wild foods such as desert raisins, bush tomatoes, and berries. Marita's paintings showcase her deep connection to the land and her cultural heritage, and are a testament to the importance of preserving Indigenous culture in Australia. Her works are sought after by art collectors and enthusiasts, and can be found in private collections and galleries across the country.
