Renowned Noongar artist Yondee Shane Hansen was born in the southwestern region of Western Australia in 1964, specifically in Dumbleyung, located 270 km south of Perth. His father imparted knowledge of hunting and the creation of sand drawings, while his visits to his aunties on the Swan River involved the collection of paper bark in aiding in their artistic endeavours. These experiences formed the foundation of his artistic education, as his older relatives, known for their paper bark paintings, became his initial instructors.

Addressing his current artistic practice, Yondee Shane Hansen stated, "I create sand paintings by collecting sand from the creeks. Once washed to remove salt, the sand exhibits a smoother texture from the creeks. After multiple washes and sieving, it becomes suitable for use 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 developed techniques to utilize sand and ochres to depict his people's narratives and legends. In addition to these traditional representations, he produces detailed figurative works encompassing themes such as mission life, hunting, and animals. Despite the abstract nature of his works, they remain narrative. Yondee, having acquired his grandfather's knowledge of ground paintings during childhood, aspires to preserve and elevate these art forms. He believes that translating them into sand paintings does justice to their origins and extends their reach to new audiences. The artist's bush name, Yondee, translates to Black Goanna.

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

About the Painting

Midden Shells served as a dietary mainstay for both freshwater and saltwater tribes. Coastal shell middens contain the remains of shellfish eaten by Aboriginal people. They can consist of the shells from a single meal or many different meals eaten in the same location over many years.

They can also contain the remains of a more varied diet, including fish, seal and kangaroo. Charcoal and hearth stones from fires, as well as other cultural items such as stone and bone artefacts, can also be present.

Just buy it! You’ll love it!!
Color: Glint-Rainbow
Bought this for my daughter, she had a ballet recital and wanted to be extra shimmery and boy did this deliver!! WE LOVE IT!! Sprays so good. We put lotion on her and then sprayed it to help it stick and used it in her hair with some hairspray to help it stay. The color is beautiful, it’s very light weight. Buy it!

Simply splendid
Color: Sparkling Pink
More glittery than I expected! I prefer loose glitter for some things and this is the best application method I’ve found so far. The bottle is better quality than I expected. The mechanism seems well made and I don’t foresee having any issues. Note- some reviews said it’s subtle but I found myself extra sparkly yesterday- like vampire in a meadow sparkly- after two quick sprays. Your mileage may vary

It’s cute, but it’s dry glitter dust. I thought it would be moist to stay on skin.
