Biography:
Christine (Wybier) grew up in Halls Creek. Her mother’s side and her grandmother’s Country is Ngarrawanji. Her father’s side is from the Northern Territory. She was inspired by her uncle, who painted animals and landscapes around the Halls Creek area.
“My theme is seeds because seeds bring new life and energy. When I paint, it relieves me from the overload in my mind. I use it as therapy to release the ideas that are stuck in my head. Painting is the only way I can connect to my home and Ngarrawanji Country because I live far away, in Bidyadanga.”
Christine (Wytbier) lives in Bidyadanga Community with her family. She is married to a Karajarri man and lives with her immediate family here in Bidyadanga.
