[edit] The value of her work

The combined value of her work...

Does this sound a bit materialistic?

Possibly, but something in the intro needs to say why she is notable. A book ive got says she is the "top grossing" aboriginal artist, not sure if that sounds great either. Cfitzart 05:34, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Put it in the context of Aboriginal art: it is their only export industry and most likely is the only form of income for Utopia, Northern Territory. The clan members who insisted she continued to paint, when she wanted to stop, were not interested in placing her paintings in art competitions - they were interested in putting the finished works up for sale.Garrie 21:27, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Is it really the first thing you want to say to characterize the artist? Wouldn't it be better to state that she is one of the major (if not THE major) aboriginal artists? Spaccapi (talk • contribs) 12:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
That's a fair point, but Earth's Creation did just set the record for sale price of an Aboriginal work ... - David Gerard 11:53, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial gallery links

Please don't put in links to galleries selling works - it isn't consistent with WP:EL and undermines the independent stance of entries like these. See also my talk page. hamiltonstone 09:35, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
