Merill Bray

Merrill belongs to the Eastern Aranda tribe. She is from the Pungarte skin group which is one of eight. Her Great grandmother A’Raka (meaning ‘sun’) is the Sun Dreaming woman from the Northern Aranda side of Alice Springs, at Illbarlinja in central Australia.

Like her mother and grandmother before her, Merrill belongs to the Yipirinya Dreaming.

She has been painting since the age of twelve. Her passion is producing contemporary dot paintings which uniquely depict macro and micro; under the microscope and out in the universe, which are both one and the same, whilst also existing at different levels.
