“Many years ago when we were just beginning, we met Gabriella at the Desert Mob exhibition in Alice Springs. She stood in front of our first etchings, a little suite of raw images, made by scratching into the aluminium plates with rocks and sharp objects and printed on a little press in the art room. We had nervously entered them into the exhibition, not knowing how people would respond as it was all very new to us. We loved them and Gabriella loved them. And she told us. And she lifted us up with her enthusiasm and with her interest. And from that moment on we formed a beautiful friendship and working relationship. She supported us. Showed our work. Year in year out. She watched us grow and she walked alongside us as an ally and a great advocate of what we were doing. We are deeply grateful to Gabriella and to Aboriginal and Pacific Art for believing in us and seeing something in us that was worth supporting. She gave us courage from  the first moment we meet her. And we are still here.” - Yarrenyty Arltere Community
