Evonne Gayuwrri is an emerging painter who began her artistic journey at Bula’bula Arts in 2017. A dedicated and frequent presence in the studio, Evonne’s work primarily explores themes from the wetlands and her totems. Her paintings often feature the Raypiny Dhawu (Freshwater Story), Baru Dhawu (Crocodile Story), and Ngambi (Spearhead), reflecting important cultural stories.
Coming from a family of accomplished female artists, Evonne is part of a legacy that traces back to her grandmother, one of the first recognized female painters in Arnhem Land. Her grandmother’s pioneering work has paved the way for the next three generations of artists. Evonne works daily alongside her mother and aunties, and is occasionally joined by her daughter and granddaughter, continuing the family tradition of expressing culture through art.
