One of the contemporary images by Josette Orsto that is steeped in Tiwi tradition

Until July 27 Birrung Gallery is delighted to present a solo exhibition by exciting Tiwi artist Marie Josette Orsto .Josette is the daughter of (the late ) Declan Apuatimi , a renowned Tiwi carver and celebrated painter Jean Baptiste Apuatimi.
From both her parents she has inherited a strong cultural knowledge as well as significant artistic talent.

Josette has a rich and distinctive style of her own and has had her work acquired by numerous institutions including the Seattle Art Museum and Kelton Foundation,USA , National Gallery of Australia, Museum Victoria and Queensland Art Galley.
We commend this artist to collectors .
