Yondee Shane Hansen is a distinguished Noongar artist, born in 1964 in Dumbleyung, located 270 kilometres south of Perth in the southwestern region of Western Australia. He acquired foundational knowledge from his father, who taught him about hunting and the creation of sand drawings. Additionally, visits to his aunties along the Swan River provided him with opportunities to collect paper bark, which supported their artistic endeavours. These early experiences formed the basis of his artistic education, as older relatives, celebrated for their paper bark paintings, served as his initial instructors.

In reference to his contemporary artistic practice, Yondee Shane Hansen stated, "I create sand paintings by collecting sand from the creeks. After being meticulously washed to remove salt, the sand exhibits a smoother texture. Following multiple washes and sieving, it becomes suitable for artistic application when mixed with paint. My paintings' combination of black and white sand conveys a simple yet powerful message."

As a seasoned artist, Yondee Shane Hansen has refined techniques to utilize sand and ochres to depict the narratives and legends of his people. In addition to these traditional representations, he produces detailed figurative works that address themes such as mission life, hunting, and animals. Despite their abstract nature, his works retain a narrative essence. Yondee has drawn upon the knowledge of ground paintings imparted by his grandfather during his childhood and aspires to preserve and elevate these art forms. He holds that translating these concepts into sand paintings not only honours their origins but also extends their reach to new audiences. His bush name, Yondee, translates to Black Goanna.

Furthermore, Yondee Shane Hansen has collaborated with the Campfire group of Aboriginal artists in Brisbane and has exhibited his artwork in various galleries across Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, and internationally in countries such as the United States, Czech Republic, and Ireland.

About the Painting

Recent works by Whadjuk Ballardong artist Yondee Shane Hansen are focused on traditional songlines and walking paths associated with the Derbarl Yerrigan, commonly known as the Swan River, situated on the coastal plains surrounding Perth. His paintings depict the interconnected locations of the Swan River and the substantial coastal lakes, extending from Joondalup and urban Perth to the Beeliar Wetlands.

The rivers within the Perth region are intricately woven into the Dreaming narratives of the local Noongar Aboriginal community. Mr. Hansen articulates that the river serves as a vital connection between the freshwater inhabitants of the inland and the saltwater communities along the coast. The Dingo Dreaming track integrates these groups and adheres to the river's natural contours. The Wargyl, a water spirit significant to this Country, is referenced in Mr. Hansen's assertion of "swimming with the Wargyl" along the river’s course. Additionally, community Elders have indicated that this area is associated with the freshwater turtle, which holds traditional medicinal importance.

It should be noted that the term Derbarl Yerrigan does not directly translate as Swan River; the river is referred to as Narlak (Swan) Beeliar (River). Instead, Derbarl Yerrigan is often interpreted to signify freshwater or brackish water Turtle Dreaming along the river. Mr. Hansen's artwork further includes representations of Gnamma holes, where Aboriginal peoples historically harvested water runoff from rock surfaces, collecting it in small wells that were subsequently covered and safeguarded.

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.
