Mud Flats Swim and Yoga Shorts

Mud Flats by Philinka Dolby

The "Mud Flats" remind me of many memories of my childhood days, with families and friends fishing, camping, sunsets, sunrises, and sitting under the stars. Watching the colours dance across the horizon, I wanted to bring this feeling of colour and memories to life on my design.

Meet the artist: Philinka Dolby

Philinka first began painting in 2005. She has been nurtured by Gabriella Dolby and Gordon Barunga (two of Mowanjum's most accomplished senior artists) and has always been surrounded by artists at work. Philinka has 8 children. Her early paintings show a strong sense of design with bold shapes and flat areas of colour. Philinka's bubbly personality and youthful exuberance add a delightful spark to the Mowamjum art studio.

Since 2024 Philinka is not only an artist for Mowanjum but also part of the arts worker team.

She participated in several workshops - ceramics, Fashion and Design workshop and print making.
