Artwork: Mother's Country
I come from a strong line of Aboriginal women. Descendant of old Granny Mibu, Neli Nidgeri, born at Pulan (Amity). My mother Sandra Rose Delaney nee Close who is a current artist and author. There’s also my maternal grandmother Marion Violet Close nee Currie who married into the close family. My Nan is 95 years old and still going strong. She’s originally from Jerico/Bunya Mountains but an Elder of our community Minjerribah.

Colours chosen to represent our women, with touches of blue to reflect Quandamooka Waters.

My mother told me our Grannies gathered wildflowers for special occasions, for decorations in their homes and for the graves.
