Name: Kerri-Anne Wilson
Biography:
“My name is Kerri, I am Martu, Yinhawangka woman. My mum is from Newman and my dad’s side of the family is from Onslow area.
As a mum of one, I have recently come back home to my mother’s country to connect with family. When I first arrived, it was overwhelming! So much family and hard to keep up! One thing I loved about it was my daughter meeting all her cousins. When I am ready, I will be heading to my dad’s country to also reconnect!
I started painting when I was in Geraldton, where I grew up. I also did a lot of free style sketching. I always told my mum I wanted to become a painter; and here I am now rediscovering myself and my passion.”
