BORN 1970, Roebourne LIVES & WORKS Cheeditha Community LANGUAGE GROUP Yindjibarndi

Kaye has been painting for 15 years and is now embarking on an independent art career. While continuing to paint, Kaye is exploring other mediums to keep her stories and culture alive. Her artworks feature the Dreamtime story of the Seven Sisters and the land, the colours she sees in the Country. Her mother used to take them out on Country, showing and telling the stories of the marks on the land. The Thurlawirdingbirding (Sturt Pea) features often in her work, drawing on the strong childhood memory of her mother giving the children the flowers to suck out the sweetness.
