Gabriella Dolby Barunga

Gabriella Dolby Barunga has been painting for nearly twenty years. She recently started using natural ochres and this has triggered new directions in her work. Gabriella is becoming well known for her Ungud paintings, where the snake-like symbol for Ungud (totem, source of concentrated creative energy) is repeated in rhythmic swirls.
