Cauliflower Dance | Ineka Voigt

Ineka Voigt is a visual artist based in Ngunnawal & Ngambri country, Kambri/Canberra.

She comes from a family of creative women who taught her to draw and paint.

Ineka’s work is autobiographical and forms a visual diary of places and memories.

Working in gouache and oils, typical subjects include flowers, gardens, bushland, native birds and still life. Ineka is committed to a daily creative practice that is joyful and expressive.

Ineka is an Artist Educator at the National Gallery of Australia.

She has exhibited her work in group shows including the 2024 Incognito Art Show, funding professional development opportunities for artists living with disability.

Ineka is a member of Craft + Design Canberra, and was a finalist in the 2024 Creative Journalling Challenge.

On 26 January 2016 her illustration Stolen Dreamtime was used as a symbol of reconciliation and solidarity.

"I keep coming back to this garden. It is not a real place, it is an imagined space.”

“A secret inner garden where my childhood memories mix with daily experiences. It is a safe space where everything belongs. It's the kind of place where cabbages chatter and cauliflowers dance for joy.”

“This is one corner of the garden, and I have a strong feeling there is much more I haven't yet uncovered. But that's what painting is for.”

“I’m referencing my mother's garden full of bulbs. Mr Macgregor's veggie garden where Peter Rabbit used to play.”

“My mother-not-in-law's garden where I'm currently living from, which I steal parsley and rosemary for stew. A garden of my very own that I will grow one day, full of herbs and strawberry bushes and chickens."
