12-year-old's first sale sparks international art career

from First Nations First

NAIDOC week this year celebrates the strength, vision and legacy of the next generation of First Nation leaders. Adnyamathanha, Luritja and Lower Southern Arrernte woman Juanella Donovan sold her first painting at the age of 12, to a tourist in the South Australian Flinders Ranges. Her work is now exhibited internationally, and she's stepped up to front a new Aboriginal art collective that's providing artists with a culturally respectful way to make an income in Port Augusta.
