Jenine Godwin-Thompson Gurumba bigi – I am a Yaggerah Aboriginal woman from the South East Queensland area known as Meeanjin (Brisbane) - which means "place shaped like a spike". The Yaggerah/Jagera and Turrbal people were the principal clans, with the Yaggerah/Jagera to the south of the Brisbane River and Turrbal north. I have mostly lived and worked up North in Townsville, as well as Aboriginal communities in the gulf and North-West regional communities in Queensland. Now Healesville based since 2014, my work is from the heart!! I love creating works with the earth tones of our Country- depicting the colours of our flora and fauna. Inspiration is from my cultural background, as well as my passion for architecture – both natural and man-made.
