Sally Morgan is one of Australia's best-known Aboriginal artists and writers. Her family was part of the Stolen Generation and she grew up in Perth, unaware of her Aboriginal heritage. Morgan was led to believe that she was of Indian descent until the age of 15 at which time she discovered her indigenous Aboriginal heritage (her family belongs to the Palku and Nyamal peoples of the Pilbara). This experience of having her origins hidden from her and her subsequent quest for identity served as her inspiration for her 1987 autobiography, My Place.
Morgan's works are on display in numerous private and public collections both internationally and in her homeland Australia including:
Robert Holmes à Court collection
Dobell Foundation
Australian National Gallery
Muscarelle Museum of Art
The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia
Her numerous awards include:
1987 – Human Rights Literature and Other Writing Award for My Place
1989 – Human Rights Literature and Other Writing Award for Wanamurraganya, the story of Jack McPhee
1990 – Winner, Order of Australia Book Prize
1993 – Joint winner of Fremantle Print Award with Bevan Honey
1998 – Notable Book, Children's Book Council
2012 – Notable Book, Children's Book Council of Australia.
A very colorful and engaging artwork. Would be a great addition to any Aboriginal Indigenous art collection or collector of Morgan's work or eye-catching stand-alone accent artwork in about any setting.
