Conkerberry Pink Tote Bag

Conkerberry (Boonjadul) by Philinka Dolby

"Conkerberry is a bushfruit in my language. We call it 'Boonjadul'.
It grows wild in Australia. Us Aboriginal People, and my ancestors around the Kimberleys and the Rangers Country, lived off this bush fruit.
We also use Conkerberry to chase away mosquitos and bad spirits.
We also used it for healing in our traditional way for many many years, till today" - Philinka

Meet the artist: Philinka Dolby

Philinka first began painting in 2005. She has been nurtured by Gabriella Dolby and Gordon Barunga (two of Mowanjum's most accomplished senior artists) and has always been surrounded by artists at work. Philinka has 8 children. Her early paintings show a strong sense of design with bold shapes and flat areas of colour. Philinka's bubbly personality and youthful exuberance add a delightful spark to the Mowamjum art studio.

Since 2024 Philinka is not only an artist for Mowanjum but also part of the arts worker team.

She participated in several workshops - ceramics, Fashion and Design workshop and print making.
