Geneine Townsend signs her work Nene.

Nene was born in Blacktown NSW and is a descendant of the Wiradjuri tribe from the Central West of New South Wales. She has lived on the Gold Coast (QLD) since the age of 11 and has had no formal training as an artist.

“I have always liked painting and drawing since High School and particularly enjoy painting murals depicting themes from my natural surroundings of the ocean and water using blue as a background and modern techniques like sponging to add depth to her pieces.” says Nene.

Nene has found that through her painting she has best been able to re-discover herself and look more seriously into her culture.

Geneine Towsend is one of many Indigenous Artists painting for Australian Authentic Dreamtime Art and continues to enjoy the exposure this gives her.

Australian Authentic Dreamtime Art feature products that are painted by genuine Aboriginal Artists, each with their own individual style and story.
