Allery Sandy

Allery Sandy, an Yindjibarndi artist from Roebourne, WA, creates aerial paintings showcasing her Country’s natural beauty. Her work highlights wildflowers, creeks, rivers, and bush foods.

Allery started painting in February 2006, enrolling in short courses in painting and design. She loves to paint the landscape of her Country from an aerial perspective. She begins her works with an underpainting using sponge and brush work and then finishes off with a fine layer of dot work, creating a sense of movement and depth of field on the canvas.

Pilbara Creeks

During the rainy season many creeks are hidden among the rocky hills of our Country. Big rains bring the animals to come drink from the water and the wildflowers grow again. We love to go fishing on the banks of the creeks, catching many different varieties of fish. Going to places like this is a family day out where we enjoy fishing and cooking and time together just enjoying company with each other. I like to just sit and watch and enjoy the beauty of the place and the smell of the sea. The colours of the creeks blend in with the river sand and paint a beautiful picture of the landscape.
