Noongar Inspiration

For Australia’s Noongar people, the land has special significance, and features strongly in most Noongar artwork.

Changes to the Noongar culture, which came about after the European settlement of Western Australia in 1829, are also regularly reflected in the Noongar arts.

It is these changes, including the institutionalisation of Aboriginal people and the removal of indigenous children from their parents, which have given rise to the unique ‘Carollup’ Style of painting. The style is so named, after the Carollup Mission near Albany, where many Noongar people were forced to reside.

Today, the Noongar people hold true to their rich ancient heritage, and many choose to remember their past through the arts.
