<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amanda Rose was born in Rubibi, Broome and has lived here all her life. She began practicing at Nagula Jarndu in 2015 learning hand printing skills, particularly lino block printing on textiles. Amanda Rose grew up spending time with her extended family on Yawuru Country- fishing, hunting, camping out and learning important Yawuru knowledge from the old people. In her art, she is often drawn to the Dreaming story of the </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gujarra Jurru</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">- the two headed snake, protector of </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">niyamarri burru </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">(white sand dune country) at Walmanyjun (Cable Beach). Amanda is also a very keen fisherwoman and depicts some of her favourite ocean feeds in her art- </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">yingarliwa</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (blue bone) and </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">gulban</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (mullet) best caught during </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mangala </span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Season (the Wet Season) when they are nice and fat.</span></p><p><br style="font-weight: 400;" /><br style="font-weight: 400;" /><br /></p>
