Taminga Connell is a Bunuba/Kija woman. Her grandmother, Maude Bedford’s country is Calwynyardah (Bunuba Country) and her grandfather’s country is Tableland (Gija country).
The name Taminga is aboriginal for ‘strong white gum tree.’ She is a wife, mother, sister, aunt, daughter and grandmother. Taminga left home at age 15 and worked as a Jillaroo on Flora Valley Cattle Station. She then went on to work at other stations in both the East and West Kimberley.
These days, Taminga resides in the East Kimberley town of Kununurra and is throughly immersed in her family life, painting and assisting her husband Scotty in their family business, Kimberley Spirit Tours, which also has a non-for-profit called the Kimberley Spirit Foundation.
Taminga’s greatest passions are her faith, family, painting, fishing and being out on country around the waterfalls, rivers and hills. Her art showcases her connection to culture, country and her personal journey through dreams, visions and stories. Each piece is unique and very special to her.
