In 2008, FORM launched the Let's Get Started! program, offering painting workshops for Indigenous Artists living in South Hedland. Since then, the group has been coming together every month for week-long sessions with mentors Helen Ansell and Sara Barnes.
The Spinifex Hill collective is currently composed of 15 artists, creating beautiful, unique and accomplished work. They have already developed both a recognisable style as a collective, and distinct individual styles.
On Friday the 13th we showcased the artists work at the Welcome to Hedland Expo. The event hosted more than 70 stallholders from businesses and organisations in Hedland and attracted over 4,000 people. Maggie and Max came along for the evening to represent the group. Max will jump at any opportunity to get out and about and Maggie loves talking to people about her art as much as they love hearing about it, she made sure everyone who approached the stall knew which paintings were hers!
