Wendy Hubert is a respected Yindjibarndi Elder, Cultural Custodian and Linguist who has lived passionately and supported her Roebourne and Yindjibarndi community for more than 40 years. As Wendy paints, she inspires our young people with her memories and stories of Yindjibarndi culture and the YIndjibarndi cultural heroes she has worked with during her lifetime of commitment. Wendy’s artworks celebrate our 60,000 year old Yindjibarndi culture and our continuing management and care for our West Pilbara tableland country.
“I know my Ngurra. I know its Laws. I am an Yindjibarndi Custodian, old now, but strong in my thinking and my life. So I have painted here, my country after fire. The rain will come. When it comes everything will grow again. It has done this since the beginning of time and will go on doing this forever.”
