Christine Winmar is a proud Noongar woman and contemporary Aboriginal artist from Western Australia. Born in 1965 in Midland, her skin name, Allawah, meaning “Stay Here,” reflects her deep-rooted connection to Noongar Country and culture. Christine’s work is grounded in her identity and her ongoing commitment to sharing the stories, symbols, and colours of her heritage through art.

Christine was taught to paint by her father, a respected Noongar artist and didgeridoo craftsman, who passed on to her many of the traditional techniques and cultural teachings that continue to influence her work today. With his guidance, Christine developed a strong foundation in Noongar design and storytelling, and she later expanded her artistic practice through experimentation with new materials, styles, and media — always maintaining a deep respect for her cultural traditions.

Christine spent several years living in the Kimberley region, where she was inspired by the landscapes and the artistic practices of Aboriginal artists from the Northern Territory, enriching her own creative expression.

By the late 1990s, Christine was exhibiting and selling her works through Aboriginal art galleries in Perth. Her first group exhibition took place in 2005 alongside fellow artists Mingi May Barnes, Geoff Lindsey, and Tjinanginy in Perth and Cottesloe. In 2009, she gained international exposure when her works were exhibited in Perth and San Francisco as part of the “Colours of Australia” exhibition.

Christine’s art practice reflects her versatility and creative spirit. She works across canvas, pottery, wood, and glass, often using vivid dot painting techniques to create bright, rhythmic compositions inspired by the natural world and her cultural heritage.


Artwork Story – Illawarra Flame Tree Dreaming

One of Christine’s recurring themes is the Illawarra Flame Tree, a powerful symbol in both Noongar and broader Aboriginal storytelling. Known for its brilliant red flowers, the tree represents passion, vitality, and the cycles of life and renewal. In Aboriginal Dreaming narratives, it is associated with fertility, strength, and the interconnectedness of all living things.

Also referred to as the Flame Kurrajong, the tree is admired for its lush, lobed leaves and vivid crimson blossoms that light up the landscape in spring and summer. Traditionally, it provided shade and served as a gathering place — a living emblem of warmth, beauty, and resilience.

Through her vibrant use of colour and intricate dot patterns, Christine captures the energy and movement of the Flame Tree in bloom, paying tribute to its cultural significance and natural splendour. Her works honour the enduring spirit of the Noongar people and the powerful relationship between culture, Country, and creation.

Must-Have for Active Dogs!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
The Chuckit Sport 26L Dog Ball Launcher has been a game-changer for my large dog! My 80-pound Labrador loves to play fetch, and this launcher makes it so much easier and more enjoyable for both of us. The 26” length gives me the leverage to throw the ball much farther than I could by hand, which really helps burn off my dog’s energy. The included large ball (3”) is the perfect size for big dogs, and I appreciate that it’s made from durable rubber, so it withstands a lot of chewing and rough play. What I really love is that the launcher is so lightweight and easy to use. I can play fetch with my dog for extended periods without my arm getting tired. The ergonomic handle also provides a comfortable grip, which is a nice touch. If you have a large, active dog, the Chuckit Sport 26L is a must-have. It’s well-made, durable, and makes fetch more fun for both you and your dog. Highly recommend!

ChuckIt is AMAZING!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
I can't throw a ball to save my soul. Just got this today and lobbed a ball to the far end of my 1- acre yard. The dog loves it, and I love it!

I recommend using the KONG Extreme Dog Toy
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Helpful for throwing as much as my dog wants to fetch. I actually had to get a cortisone injection in my shoulder a few months after getting my dog - never had a dog with this much energy before! The Chuckit really helps. Downside: The ball that comes with it is larger than a tennis ball, so may be too much for smaller doge. I can't imagine my sister-in-law's french bulldog carrying it! Also, in our house it gets destroyed within minutes, as my dog is a strong chewer. For this situation, I recommend using the KONG Extreme Dog Toy, Black, size Large. This is shaped sort of like a snowman, which means it bounces unpredictably at times. My dog eventually chews the "head" off of this toy, but the remaining 2/3 still fits in the Chuckit (and is actually easier to throw with the "head" missing!). One caveat: the KONG is significantly heavier than the ball included with the Chuckit, so be aware of that... Also, we ordered our first Chickit in October 2015, then needed to replace it in May of 2017, as it broke. I think the plastic became brittle over that time, as we left it out in the sun & rain in Florida. Since it is cheap to replace, that's not a big deal. (We ordered three Kong toys over that same period of time!) To summarize, it's a very helpful tool to get the ball further, faster, with less strain, than without it. Knowing there are alternatives to the included ball for heavy chewers makes it worthwhile.

Great Ball Launcher!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Our dogs love this ball launcher! I can throw the ball long distances without any arm strain. The balls wear out, and as described by others, tennis balls don’t fit. Buy extra balls if this is of concern. We bought a few of the “Chuck It” rubber 3” balls and they have worked well for our dogs. It’s a great value and fun for the dogs.

Chuckit!! Just Chuck it!!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Chuck it further than your skinny little arms can chuck it. Doggo loved this, I loved this and when we were done Doggo promptly hid it under the porch so I couldn’t take it from him. It’s not a squeaky toy, it’s for fetch. You wing it out toward the yard and it flies, bounces if it’s lucky then is attacked in an adoring manner. We like it!!
