THIS IS THE CLARENCE SERPENT COLLECTION
The Clarence River Serpent range was inspired by the artwork created by Jingalu. 'Jingalu' Melissa Craig traces her Aboriginal heritage to the Gumbayngirr and Yaegl Tribes in New South Wales.
She regularly exhibits her artwork here in Australia and around the world, including Washington DC, Santa Fe in New Mexico, San Francisco and Colarado. Jingalu is also a regular contributor to the jeans for genes foundation by painting on well-known persons such as Jessica Mauboy's jeans.
"I paint stories from my life experiences, from the Dreamtime in my area, from my family's experiences and from the overall history of Aboriginal Australia."
THE CLARENCE RIVER SERPENT ARTWORK
Jingalu's Story
The story is how the Clarence river was made, which could be a story of how any river was made. The story is a big serpent was swimming in the ocean and it was hungry so it came onto the land to look for some tucker and every step it took made a little estuary (creek) and the serpent soon became stuck and died. This is how the big river came to be.
