Early life and education
Macnamara grew up on a cattle station near Camooweal, Queensland, where her family worked. She began her education at Camooweal State School.[1] From 1989 she attended Australian Flying Arts School workshops in Queensland, working in watercolour.[1] She also worked with mixed media, installation and sculpture before turning to weaving local spinifex to create organic forms.[1]
Work
Using the abundant spinifex grass in her people's country in northwest Queensland her weavings reflect the environment, intertwining the landscape with her personal and ancestral stories.[2]
