About the Artist 
The youngest of 8 children, Yakinno (Tanya Debono) hails from the Western Victoria Gunditjmara tribe. Yakinno means “Dreamtime” in the Gunditjmara language. Tanya’s style, and that of her tribe, is especially unique focussing on textures and abstract forms.  Tanya’s art is inspired by bark and plant textures native to Western Victoria and in typical Victorian style is mostly black and white. Her sketches and art are a blue-print of her imagination and inner-workings of her mind. You can often find Tanya in a quiet corner of a Warrnambool café developing her pieces
