Kaye Warrie Australian, Yindjibarndi, b. 1970

Kaye Warrie is a Yindjibarndi woman living at Cheeditha Community near Roebourne in the Pilbara. Kaye has been painting for 15 years and has worked with Roebourne Art Group exhibiting in the Cossack Art Award, Colours Of Our Country and Ngurra Nyingu. Kaye is now embarking on an independent art career. While continuing to paint Kaye is exploring other mediums to keep her stories and culture alive.

 

Her artworks feature the dreamtime story of the Seven Sisters and the land, the colours she sees in the Country. Her Mother used to take them out on Country, showing and telling the stories of the marks on the land.

 

The Thurlawirdingbirding (Sturt pea) features often in her work with the strong childhood memory of her Mothers giving the children the flowers to suck out the sweetness.
