- Artwork story
- Ignatia's paintings are often of only Wandjina but sometimes also incorporate totemic animals or stick figures. Her major Totemic animals are the turtle and snake. Many of Ignatia’s barks are small and feature Wandjina spirits, which are typically icon-like in shape. They have rounded sides, narrower at the top than the base. The spirits are often depicted with bark buckets, an artifact unique to the Kimberley region.
