Minnie Lumai (b.1941, East Kimberley, NT Australia) is named after a freshwater spring that gently bubbles with the sound of her name - lu-mai, lu-mai, lu-mai. Her Dreamings are the Butcher Bird and the Kingfisher. She says 'my paintings are about the stories of my country and culture - the way the land is from the Dreaming and where we travel to hunt and fish'. Minnie Lumai's work is in major collections throughout Australia and her work was selected for the prestigious Bankwest Award in 2015.
