Leoni Melpi
Leonie was Wangka woman from Wadeye, one of Australia’s largest Aboriginal communities, located about 420km South West of Darwin. Leonie passed away in late 2017. Leonie’s language was Mari Amu. She was mother of five, and aunty and granny to many! Leonie loved painting and drawing, and did art to relax.
In addition to being a talented artist, Leonie worked for many years with young children at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart School, and Wadeye pre-school before retiring in 2013.
