Tartukula artist Susannah Nelson has depicted the biblical narrative of the three wise men, travelling on camelback to Bethlahem for the birth of Jesus Christ. The piece is painted in Susannah's signature use of bold colours and block figures laid against a flat landscape. Susannah's faith informs much of her painting. She is heavily involved with the Australian Indigenous Ministry where she regularly takes paintings to use as a storytelling tool at mass.
