Acknowledgement: Traditional Tasmanian Aboriginal Shell Necklace
Primary Health Tasmania would like to acknowledge Jeanette James for the supplied art work. Jeanette James is a Tasmanian Aboriginal artist and senior custodian of the palawa cultural tradition of shell necklace stringing, a practice that has remained intact and continued without interruption since before white settlement; it is a tradition that is many thousands of years old.
Jeanette continues this age old tradition as passed on by her family, spending holidays and weekends exploring the pristine beaches of Tasmania looking for the wide variety of shells required to produce her beautiful necklaces.
Her exquisite necklaces have been exhibited throughout Australia, USA (Washington and Alaska) and Singapore with her works being acquired by Museums and Art Galleries locally, nationally and internationally.
