Living and working in South Australia, Bianka Carson is an Aboriginal Artist from the Wirangu language group. Having grown up in Boandik country with ancestral roots from Ceduna, Bianka is passionate about her cultural heritage, and paints mostly about family, relationships and the things that are most important to her.
I grew up with aunties telling me stories about natural resources, remedies and traditional bush medicine. Other stories were around landmarks, water sources, animals and spirits. I am very passionate about my cultural heritage.
Completing part of her Social Work Degree placement at a prison, Bianka was able to yarn with many Aboriginal Artists about paint, resources, technique and picturing what she wanted to achieve. It was here she felt an immediate sense of calm and connection with her culture, and found a love of painting. Bianka paints with a mix of bright colour and earthy tones depending on the piece.
Bianka is the owner and artist behind Windyigarn Art, a 100% Aboriginal Owned and family operated business creating art, jewellery and art print products. Windyigarn means 'allow to be free' in Bianka's grandmother's language, and for Bianka, her Windyigarn Art is for people who want to create the perfect environment for their needs, appreciating and immersing themselves in the story and elegance of each piece.
