About the Artist
Brita Lee Miklouho-Maklai was born in Sydney, Australia, and studied painting in Sydney as well as in Adelaide. She is also a sculptor.
'The inspiration for my art comes through drawing, which is primal and goes back to the paintings on the cave walls of our ancestors, and beyond; runes carved in standing stones; lines drawn in sand. It's a way of connecting to the earth whether using charcoal, ochres, pigments, or the clay itself to create three dimensional figures."
