Artwork: This cushion features artwork by Aboriginal Artist Janelle Stockman. The explosion of colours creates such a vibrant and engrossing design. You’ll be surprised the difference it makes to your decor!

Janelle divided her time between Utopia with her husband’s family (Mary Morton, Lucky Morton and Sarah Morton to name a few) and her traditional home land at both Hermannsburg and Papunya in Central Australia. Billy Stockman, who is famed for being one of the original members of the early Papunya Tula aboriginal artists is Janelle’s grandfather, which drew an obvious pride in Janelle at the mention of his name.

Janelle’s paintings have always been very contemporary in style because she wanted to do something totally different to everyone else. Janelle drew inspiration from a number of places including the landscape and a dream to be a famed artist like her grandfather some day.
