About the Artist I am a Yaggerah Aboriginal woman from the South-East Queensland area known as Meeanjin (Brisbane), with the Yaggerah/Jagera to the South of the Brisbane River and Turrbal North. I have mostly lived and worked up North in Townsville, as well as Aboriginal communities in the Gulf and North-West regional communities in Queensland. Now Healesville based since 2014, my work is from the heart! I love creating works with the earth tones of our Country - depicting the colours of our flora and fauna. Inspiration is from my cultural background, as well as my passion for architecture - both natural and man-made.
