This is how we see ‘em presents the work of three leading artists from Spinifex Hill Studio.

Spinifex Hill Studio is a place where people come together to connect through a passion for family, culture, and art.

“Everyone here is all related or connected, there’s no arguments, there’s happy feelings in here.” Sheila Gardiner, daughter of Nyaparu (William) Gardiner (1943-2018) and Nyangulya Katie Nalgood

This couldn’t be truer for exhibiting artists Nyangulya Katie Nalgood, the late Nyaparu (William) Gardiner, and Winnie Sampi, who have shared a unique bond at the art centre. Nyangulya Katie Nalgood and Winnie Sampi both migrated from the Kimberley region and Spinifex Hill Studio has functioned as a place to connect them, while Nyaparu (William) Gardiner and Winnie Sampi re-connected at Spinifex Hill Studio having gone to school together. Nyaparu would always bring his guitar into the art centre and everyone would sing along with him.

Even though Nyaparu (William) Gardiner has passed way, Nyangulya and Winnie still continue to share photos and memories with one another and enjoy seeing each other at the art centre. It means they can stay connected with each other and stay connected to him.
