Leanne Watson Redpath, affectionately known as Mulgo (Black Swan) in her community, brings a unique blend of traditional Dharug artistry and contemporary influences to her work. Taught from a young age by her mother and brother, she has developed a signature style that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of her people.
