Hand-Painted Aboriginal Timber Artwork Board | The Living Artifact Collection by Jodii Scully

Elevate your home or corporate spaces with a functional masterpiece from The Living Artifact Collection. Encased in high-clarity, food-grade resin over hand-painted timber, each board brings contemporary Aboriginal art off static gallery walls and directly into your everyday living and dining spaces.

While Jodii explores recurring native wildlife motifs across her work—including the Saltwater Crocodile, Crab, and Turtle—every board is individually hand-painted. No two pieces are ever identical, giving you an exclusive, one-of-a-kind original artwork.

Meet the Artist

Handcrafted with intention, each piece is painted by Jodii Scully, a descendant of the Ngangiwumirri people from the Daly River region, residing in Darwin, NT. Jodii’s work is a deeply personal interpretation of culture and country, exploring how tradition and land intermingle with native flora and fauna.

Handcrafted Uniqueness & Quality Note

• One-of-a-Kind Artistry: Every artwork is individually hand-created and finished. Due to the organic nature of natural timber, biological specimens, and hand-poured resin, minor variations, subtle color shifts, microscopic bubbles, or slight surface blemishes are natural features of the crafting process—not defects. These characteristics celebrate the handmade process and guarantee your piece is a completely unique original.

• Sales & Returns Policy: Due to the rare, hand-painted, and bespoke nature of these collectors' items, all sales are final once purchased. Items cannot be returned, exchanged, or refunded for change of mind or natural variations inherent to handmade art.
