Artwork Story:
Thorny Lizard Skin by Sharon Numina draws inspiration from the distinctive markings and textured skin of the thorny lizard, a small desert reptile found across the sandy landscapes of Central Australia. The thorny lizard, known for its patterned body and ability to blend into the desert environment, has long been part of the natural life observed by Aboriginal families living on and moving through Country.
In this work, Sharon Numina interprets the intricate surface of the lizard’s skin through rhythmic dotting and repeated pattern. The layered marks reflect the scales and textures of the reptile, while also echoing the patterns found in the desert landscape where the thorny lizard lives.
The painting celebrates the close observation of nature that is central to life on Country. Animals such as the thorny lizard are part of the wider environment that Aboriginal people understand deeply through generations of knowledge, movement, and connection to land.
Through colour, pattern, and repetition, Sharon Numina’s work captures both the beauty of the desert environment and the subtle details of the creatures that inhabit it.

Customer Images
“Picked up my picture from the framers today and it is now on my bedroom wall. I absolutely love it. Thank you”
“Maria Nampijinpa Brown’s “Seven Sister’s Dreaming” painting arrived last week and is even more impressive than shown online. It’s vivid colors and traditional designs inspire me to learn about Aboriginal Art. I admire the symbolism of the sisters becoming the Pleiades Star Cluster to escape danger. How clever! I feel honored to display this wonderful art in my home.”
