NHANDA ARTIST PRAISED FOR DEADLY NORTHAMPTON FOOTY GUERNSEY’S

Mauretta Drage (Nhanda) was born in Northhampton, and she speaks the Nhanda language.

Maurtteta is a special needs education assistant at Cable Beach Primary School and regularly supervises the Northhampton Old School youth program.

Mauretta is a renowned artist who teaches wood burning and painting in the youth program and assists with cultural camps on the Murray River near Kalbarii.

Mauretta has been developing her painting with Ku’arla Manga since 2010 and her printmaking practice since 2017. 

This year, the Northampton Senior Football Club engaged Mauretta’s art skills.  She designed the football guernsey.

“I think the gurneys have impacted this a lot because everyone says, ' Those guernseys are absolutely stunning. '

Doing something for such a very well-known Midwest football team was awesome.”
