About
Ngarga Warendj
Ngarga Warendj
Mick Harding is a leading artist who speaks with the voice of South-East Australia through his art and story-telling. Through working closely with his own Taungurung people of the Yowong-Illam-Baluk clan (Mansfield Region), Mick has developed a strong understanding of Indigenous culture. He has learned to appreciate the ties between the land, its flora and fauna, and man’s responsibility to protect the land and maintain the intricate and delicate relationships that exist there.

About Melanie Hava
Melanie has a blended, interesting background with a father who comes from the oldest city in Austria, and a mother who comes from the oldest culture in the world - Aboriginal people of Australia. Through her Mum’s line, she identifies as a Mamu Aboriginal woman, Dugul-barra and Wari-barra family groups, from the Johnstone River catchment of the Wet Tropics of Far North Queensland and the adjoining Great Barrier Reef sea Country.
Melanie is now based in Cairns, FNQ – in her mother’s country where she feels close to the spirit of rainforest and reef. Her life is filled with her three gorgeous children and her gallery, commissioned work and love for art.
The Indigenous Art Code is a system to preserve and promote ethical trading in Indigenous art. We are proud to be a member of the Indigenous Art Code and conduct our business with Indigenous artists with the highest standards of ethics and respect.
