This limited edition print by Lizzy Stageman recreates Galingbangbur, Children Part One, one of the two original contemporary Indigenous Australian artworks commissioned by Ronnie and Georgia for The Block in 2021.
The artwork shares a deeply personal story of motherhood, strength, protection and the paths Lizzy walks beside her three children.

Frame: Floating Tasmanian oak
Dimensions: 60 × 90 cm
Floating Tasmanian oak
Galingbangbur means Children.
Lizzy created the original artwork as one of two large commissions for Ronnie and Georgia’s hallway on The Block. She completed the paintings within five days, with her family helping her frame, scan and deliver both works to Melbourne.
Three strong forms represent Lizzy’s three children. Their upright shapes reflect strength and unity, while their rounded lines carry softness, care and connection.
The surrounding landscape reflects the many ways a mother supports and protects her children. The mountains represent the mountains she would move. The water reflects the seas she would help them cross. Fire acknowledges the difficult paths she would walk beside them.
Thousands of dots move through the artwork like footsteps, representing the journey Lizzy has taken and will continue to take alongside her children.
Five years after the original appeared on The Block, Lizzy has released Children Part One directly through her own website for the first time, in a 60 × 90 cm edition limited to 25.
A meaningful limited edition contemporary Indigenous Australian artwork for collectors drawn to motherhood, family, strength, protection and the story behind Lizzy Stageman’s first appearance on The Block.
