“The King Fisher proudly struts its colours. It is said that the King Fisher being so different from others teaches us about difference. Just because we may present as being different, doesn’t mean we do not have a place in the world. Sometimes being different can give us unwanted challenges but in the long run it makes us stronger beings”.

Aunty Bea, “Nambooka” Edwards is an established artist with a deep cultural connection stemming from her Gunai Kurnai ancestry on her fathers side and Tasmanian Aboriginal descent on her mothers side. Incredibly talented, yet humble, Aunty Bea paints each acrylic or watercolour piece with intricate detail, exploring Australian wildlife layered in their environment.  

Aunty Bea is drawn to the beauty of the natural environment taking inspiration from wildlife for her arts practice.  This has been the constant in her life, since she was a child, the natural world and all that it has to teach us.  As family connections and cultural practices have been lost over the years, Aunty Bea sets out to remember the stories that her ancestors passed down, bringing them alive again through her artwork and sharing them generously with the world.
