Biography:
Kristy was born in Broome and moved around all different places growing up, "All over, so many places." Kristy grew up in Bidyadanga until she left at 18 to live in Beagle Bay, and currently resides in Newman.
Having always loved art, Kristy started painting in Newman. She spent time painting with her brother, dad and little sister on their veranda, painting bush life. Kristy's favourite subjects to paint are wildflowers, animal tracks and ocean animals like stingrays, turtles and fish. She is the sister of artist Daniel Walbidi, who she says tried to teach her painting but she was too shy to learn.
