RHUBEE NEALE

 

My earliest childhood memories are escaping to imaginary places through painting and singing, laying in my mother’s arms while she sat under the most amazing gum tree, while she sang in her mother tongue and draw stories in the sand this was such a healing process that has continued when I Sing and Paint today. Each artwork is a unique one off piece. My family have been my inspiration; My Children, Sister Letty Scott, my mothers’ brother and Sister Uncle Teddy Briscoe, Aunty Patsy Morton (Briscoe), my mums’ cousin Uncle Clifford Possum, & my father’s sister MK Turner”.

Born in Alice Springs in 1964.  Rhubees’ mother’s country is Arungi (Garden Bore), approximately 200 Km North West of Alice Springs & nearby Yuealmu and Laramba community. Rhubee has enjoyed painting from an early age; she especially enjoyed watching and listening as families painted their dream stories. 

Rhubee’s preferred medium is Acrylics, and she paints in a contemporary style. As an Anmatjere/Arrernte Woman passionate about family, culture, and heritage, she embeds aspects of who she is in every artwork. Her aspiration is to one day exhibit her Artwork and sing and perform in the UK and Nashville, USA.
