Hey Paul,

I had just commented that I recently came across the work of Minnie Pwerle. An aboriginal painter that passed in 2006. I had never heard of her even thought I was familiar with aboriginal painting. I found her work to be very contemporary. You can see her work at http://www.minniepwerle.com.au/

I've seen a little of her work through friends in Australia that collect Aboriginal work. Thanks for the link...I look forward to seeing more of her stuff.
