Christine Winmar is a proud Noongar woman and contemporary Aboriginal artist from Western Australia. Born in 1965 in Midland, her skin name, Allawah, meaning “Stay Here,” reflects her deep-rooted connection to Noongar Country and culture. Christine’s work is grounded in her identity and her ongoing commitment to sharing the stories, symbols, and colours of her heritage through art.

Christine was taught to paint by her father, a respected Noongar artist and didgeridoo craftsman, who passed on to her many of the traditional techniques and cultural teachings that continue to influence her work today. With his guidance, Christine developed a strong foundation in Noongar design and storytelling, and she later expanded her artistic practice through experimentation with new materials, styles, and media — always maintaining a deep respect for her cultural traditions.

Christine spent several years living in the Kimberley region, where she was inspired by the landscapes and the artistic practices of Aboriginal artists from the Northern Territory, enriching her own creative expression.

By the late 1990s, Christine was exhibiting and selling her works through Aboriginal art galleries in Perth. Her first group exhibition took place in 2005 alongside fellow artists Mingi May Barnes, Geoff Lindsey, and Tjinanginy in Perth and Cottesloe. In 2009, she gained international exposure when her works were exhibited in Perth and San Francisco as part of the “Colours of Australia” exhibition.

Christine’s art practice reflects her versatility and creative spirit. She works across canvas, pottery, wood, and glass, often using vivid dot painting techniques to create bright, rhythmic compositions inspired by the natural world and her cultural heritage.


Artwork Story – Illawarra Flame Tree Dreaming

One of Christine’s recurring themes is the Illawarra Flame Tree, a powerful symbol in both Noongar and broader Aboriginal storytelling. Known for its brilliant red flowers, the tree represents passion, vitality, and the cycles of life and renewal. In Aboriginal Dreaming narratives, it is associated with fertility, strength, and the interconnectedness of all living things.

Also referred to as the Flame Kurrajong, the tree is admired for its lush, lobed leaves and vivid crimson blossoms that light up the landscape in spring and summer. Traditionally, it provided shade and served as a gathering place — a living emblem of warmth, beauty, and resilience.

Through her vibrant use of colour and intricate dot patterns, Christine captures the energy and movement of the Flame Tree in bloom, paying tribute to its cultural significance and natural splendour. Her works honour the enduring spirit of the Noongar people and the powerful relationship between culture, Country, and creation.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.
