Sally Gabori is arguably considered the major contemporary Aboriginal artist painting in Australia today. Her loose, painterly interpretations of her country manages to capture the hearts and minds of the most unsuspecting art lover with her bright colours and expressive brushstrokes. Paula Paul’s evocative and beautifully coloured paintings often describe the flat reefs in and around Bentinck Island, and the shells that are found on the beach, as Professor Nick Evans explains: "…some shells are shown on the beach, and this demonstrates an important element of how Kaiadilt women cook Cockle shells in particular, lining them up in pleasing patterns in the ashes as they cook them. In Kayardild this is known as dirrbathat wuranki bijurri.
