leni: indigenous introspective - solo exhibition sept 1st - oct 13th 2010 opening night sept 2nd 6-8pm.
Leni is a Wotjobaluk woman who was born in 1968, adopted into a non-indigenous farming family and raised in the Wimmera. She was reunited with her natural mother and extended family at the age of 17. Since forever she has expressed her creativity through writing only beginning painting in 2007 with a passion. Leni believes her art is inspired strongly by her cross cultural heritage, her constant journey of learning, and tales of traditional past fused with a stylised present. All works are acrylic on canvas.
