Donavon Gilbert

Donavon was born at Billabong Station out of Mullewa in 1974. He has lived in Wiluna nearly all of his life, attending school at the Wiluna Remote Community School, and High School at Meekatharra. Donavon displays a remarkable sense of design in his paintings. His works often depict bush tucker, in particular Honey Ants and Bardies (Witchery Grubs),Goanna,family and seeds which he incorporates into contemporary designs.His works are of a third dimension where he would place one dot on top of another and another. Donavon has been invited to join AACHWA (Aboriginal Art Center Hub Western Australia) as a committee member and if nominated a Director representing Tjukurba Art Center here in Wiluna. This will be a great honor and opportunity for Donavon to learn new skills adding to his portfolio.
