Christine Winmar is a Noongar woman, born in Midland, Western Australia in 1965. Her skin name is ‘Allawah’, an Aboriginal word meaning "Stay here". Christine was taught to paint by her father, a renowned artist, and didgeridoo craftsman. He taught her many aspects and techniques of Noongar art which are reflected in her work today. Christine then began experimenting with different styles and techniques with the support of her family and friends. 

Christine has also spent a few years in the Kimberley, where she developed her skills by adopting the techniques of Aboriginals in the Northern Territory.

By 1997, Christine had been selling her works through an Aboriginal art gallery in Perth.  Her first joint exhibition followed shortly, when in 2005, she and fellow artists Mingi May Barnes, Geoff Lindsey, and Tjinanginy exhibited in Perth and Cottesloe. 

 In 2009 Christine exhibited her work with various other artists in Perth and San Francisco in the “Colours of Australia” exhibition. 

Today, Christine uses canvas, pottery, wood, and glass media. Bright and colourful patterns made using dots are common in her work. Her works are represented in art galleries throughout Western Australia. 

ABOUT THE PAINTING

Turtles are a favored food source in Indigenous communities around Australia and an essential element of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Hunting turtles and preparing and sharing their meat has great significance and is an expression of the continuance of traditions. The turtle shell has also been historically fashioned into combs and fishhooks.

Due to the significance of turtles in Australian Indigenous communities, they appear as totems and in Dreamtime stories as well as Creation myths. The hunting of these animals is allowed when done sustainably and is managed and controlled by social laws that reflect links between families and totems. These marine creatures demonstrate the connection with traditional sea countries.

Take the skin off and get the right size for your dog’s weight!
Color: Panda Bear - Large, Color: Panda Bear - Large
This review is specifically for the panda toy. My dog is a super chewer and will literally go through any normal toy, even the ones labeled for aggressive chewers, within a few hours at most. He’s about to be 10 years old and this is the first time he’s ever had a toy that lasted as long as it has. I wanna mention the outer layer he almost immediately chewed through. To me, it wasn’t worth the fear of him dealing through pieces so I just took the whole “skin” off. However, he’s safely had this for 2 months with no issues and heavy daily chewing until he finally broke it apart. So if you have a super chewer, make sure to get the size appropriate for your dog’s weight and take the “skin” off and you’re left with a quality toy that will stick around! Pictured is a set of 2 new toys of the same variety since he finally chewed through his last batch lol

My dog loves this toy but…
Color: Grey Bear - Large
This toy has many pros and cons, but it’s my dogs all time favorite toy so I have to give it 4 stars. Pro:My German Shepard loves this toy, it has no squeaker and she hates squeakers, so she hasn’t tried to destroy it. It’s the perfect size for a large ball. She likes to throw her toys and this one has a pretty decent bounce to it so she can entertain herself. Cons: the inside is hard rubber, she likes to throw her toys and it hurts when she hits you with it or drops it on your feet. Also a huge hazard to windows and anything breakable.

Pretty awesome chew toy
Color: Grey Bear - Large
This toy is great!! I have a doodle that shreds everything in sight, including durable toys, but this one stood up to the Teddy test! He easily ripped off the ear/feet bits, but the fabric casing hasn’t come off after a week of play, and I expect the rubber toy inside will be even harder to break. This is a fairly heavy toy, so it makes a thunk when it drops and is probably not suitable for small dogs. It has a light squeak that is quiet and infrequent enough to not annoy me, and it’s pretty cute too!! it does get soaked in drool pretty fast (and takes forever to dry), but at this point i’m grateful it lasts long enough to get drooled on at all.

less than 24 hours :/
Color: Grey Bear - Large, Color: Grey Bear - Large
smaller than i expected but had a strong interior that i was pleasantly surprised with. my lil lady very much enjoyed it, however it lasted less than 24 hours before the poor toy was skinned alive :( she loves plushies and she’s obsessed w his skin after tearing him apart. it does have a solid rubber interior that is still good as a toy, however i was hoping its skin would stay on longer than a day :( overall decent toy, 3 stars for being destroyed so quickly. wouldn’t recommend for strong chewers
