Sheryl Pamulkan

Only in 2018 was the year that Sheryl began her artistic career. “I’d never painted before. I really enjoy painting at the Wik & Kugu Arts Centre’s Akay Koo’oila Women’s Studio” says Sheryl. Her grandfather was also a well known painter from Aurukun and it was in a Toowoomba art gallery that Sheryl came across his work for the first time which inspired her to pick up the paint brush.

Sheryl paints with great detail and has an eye for design and composition. She loves to paint her Apalech Clan stories including the Blue Tongue Lizard, Taipan and Shooting Star. Sheryl has been practicing with natural ochres over the past 12 months and has begun developing a strong body of work for upcoming exhibitions around the country.
