Who We Are
Balgarra Designs is made up of a team of four artists, Joanne Cassady, Michelle Hamilton, Leeanne Hunter & Leona McGrath. Joanne Cassady is owner & manager of Balgarra Designs & it is 100% Aboriginal owned and operated. Joanne Cassady & Michelle Hamilton are sisters, Leeanne Hunter is their cousin and Leona McGrath is a long life friend to all. All the ladies began painting together in the 90's, holding various stalls at markets in and around Sydney, NSW. Each artist also created pieces separately.
Over the years the ladies forged their own careers, each on their own separate paths, but in 2018 have since reunited and formed a special and unique bond working together within Balgarra Designs, creating beautiful artwork and working on stalls and markets again.
