Alperstein Designs Dancing Wombat colouring book

Mindful Creativity with Australian Aboriginal Art

Based on artworks by Aboriginal Artist, Mick Harding (Victoria).

Take some time for mindfulness with your very own colouring book featuring 18 original artworks by Victorian Artist, Mick Harding from Ngarga Warendj (Dancing Wombat). 

Mick Harding belongs to the Yowung-Illam-Baluk clan of the Taungurung people - a tribe of the Kulin nation. Mick was born in Melbourne. Mick draws inspiration from the compelling legends of his people and weaves the images of those legends into each of his original artworks, which reflect the unique symbols and artifacts of South East Australia. Each of the artworks Mick creates is linked to a legend and challenges the viewer to understand their place in the story.
