Hello!
My name is Ailsa and I own and operate Wulkuraka Designs. I am an Aboriginal woman with family connections and blood ties to three tribal nations in Australia. Lardil nation from Mornington Island, Queensland. Kullili nation from Eulo/Thargomindah, Queensland. Yuggera nation in Ipswich, Queensland.
I wanted to create a space for me to sell my art online. It is a new exciting and scary journey for me. I guess all artists across the world will have that voice in their head saying over and over again; "Will my art sell? Will people like it?"
I guess I have to leave that up to fate and just produce the art that is flowing through my spirit.
I can not point a finger on "my style". I have a range of artistic visions that I love to dabble in; including acting, painting, film making, writing scripts, jewellery making, clay work, photography the list can literally go on.
I have no idea what to even call my self anymore, an artist? A performer? I guess I am just living my life through art and my art reflects my values and my culture.
About me as a person I am weird, funny and probably over ambitious. I believe in aliens and I think skydiving and bungee jumping is totally wicked! Don't worry I get called weird all the time and I love it. I also have this HUGE compassion for other people in need and of course animals and this beautiful environment.
At the moment I am a Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Worker in mental health. I realised becoming an actor is a lot harder that I thought at the age of 18. Been trying to make it now for 13 years and I am still fighting for that perfect role (preferably a villain he-he). So plan B was to be a community worker and since I am an advocate for better Indigenous health reform I thought why not put myself right in the thick of it.
Actor - Artist - Painter- Alien Watcher I guess I am all of them.
Now in my early 30's I love my support networks, I love my art career and most of all I love life. I hope you can find a piece art on here that you would like to purchase. I also do custom art which is always welcomed.
I hope you all have a lovely day/night xx
Much love, Ailsa.
