Artist Biography  |
| “I was born in Brisbane in 1945, from the Rigby family from the Bigambul Clan. Assimilated and educated in Brisbane City, but lived mostly on the Gold Coast. Have been a painter, sculptor, lecturer, writer and involved in the Arts for over 40 years. I have been commissioned to do murals and other acquisitions all through Queensland and am in private collections all over the world. Included in the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award several times. I do figurative images of our people and wildlife in iconic style, with a spiritual and compassionate awareness of Aboriginal history. I use Art to tell the story of how beautiful our people are.” |
