WELCOME ERICA MURIATA

We are thrilled to announce that Girramay artist Erica Muriata from Girringun Aboriginal Art Centre (QLD) has joined the Vivien Anderson Gallery family.

Erica’s artistic practice spans multiple mediums, including painting, ceramics, and weaving.  In addition to her paintings, Erica creates distinctive Bagu sculptures in clay, and has also gained particular recognition for her exquisite weaving skills, becoming renowned for her craftsmanship in creating the ‘jawun’ — traditional woven baskets of the rainforest people.  Her mastery in these mediums reflects both her personal connection to cultural traditions and her ability to adapt and innovate within them.

Erica’s art is not just a personal expression, but also a vehicle for preserving and passing on the stories of her ancestors.  As the current keeper of these stories, she carries the responsibility of maintaining and sharing the cultural knowledge and traditions of her people.

“I feel privileged to be able to present my work to fellow countrymen and share Girramay culture in the hope to inspire future generations.” — Erica Muriata

Welcome, Erica!
