Djinda Kaal Dreaming

Fiona Reidy - Noongar Artist

I am a very proud Noongar business woman of the Balardong Clan, traditionally located in the Brookton/York in the Wheat Belt Region of Western Australia.

Painting is my passion and the way I can express myself through life..
I strive to reinvent my artwork by experimenting with different techniques with a few of my pieces done in 3D image which captures the eye with a rhythmic combination of vibrant colours making each piece jump out at you

The strong connection I feel for my people gives me a deep sense of belonging as a Noongar Artist, which is why it's important to be close with my people to bring the past into the present for the future with my paintings.
My love for my culture, the land, my people and most importantly my family is what helps me stay grounded.

Aboriginal people are gifted story tellers and many of my paintings are about my people in the hunter and gatherer days, being nomadic people who lived by the six season.

A fair few of my artwork are on display in different art galleries across Australia, with many sold globally in Switzerland, Canada and the USA. It is an amazing feeling knowing your artwork is taking centerpiece in a home in another country.

Djinda Kaal is my artist name in Noongar meaning 'Star Fire' which my beautiful mother chose for me.
