Doreen says ‘I was born in Old Lockhart on Cape York. My mothers people came from the Kuku Nyungkal clan of the Shipton Flat/Helensvale area. My father belonged to the Kaanju tribe of Coen.
I went to school at Miallo Rocky Point and Mossman High School. Since 2006 I have been making rainforest jewellery using nuts, seed and shells found locally which I love collecting. Aboriginal and Islander colours can be seen in my work.’
