Rowena was born in Wyndham and grew up on Kija Country in Halls Creek. She remembers spending time as a child sitting down painting with her Grandmother who taught her about important Kija knowledge and the stories she should paint. This design shows the Hill Country of the Lansdowne Ranges and through her Grandmother, Rowena is the custodian of this country. Rowena’s fabrics are highly sought after, particularly after winning the Indigenous Textile Artist of the year at the National Indigenous Fashion Awards in 2023.
