Gurumba bigi – I am a Yaggerah Aboriginal woman from the South East Queensland area known as Meeanjin (Brisbane) - which means ‘place shaped like a spike’. The Yaggerah/Jagera and Turrbal people were the principal clans, 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.
I am also available to do large scale commissions, discuss the scale and scope of work you require and provide a price on application.
