About the Artist:

Anthony Saltmere, an Aboriginal artist from Mornington Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria, is celebrated for his distinctive hand-carved timber artworks.

Some of his pieces are left unpainted, while others are painted by his partner, Chantel Harley.

Living on Mornington Island and travelling around the Gulf and Northwest regions, Anthony and Chantel stay connected with their roots and respect the environment. They choose materials carefully using traditional methods passed down through their families.

Their artwork tells stories about their lives and culture. They use old techniques but also add modern touches to show who they are and share their heritage.

Anthony Saltmere and Chantel Harley want to show that ancient artifacts can still be meaningful today. They hope their art highlights the importance of these artifacts in our modern world.
