Aunty Verqelle Friday

Her passion and influence comes from both her auntie’s stories and her faith:

“My Aunties communicated our history and family connections through art and stories that have been handed down to me through the generations. I have vivid memories of gathering with my community on sacred land, dancing, sleeping, creating arts and crafts, sitting around a campfire and listening to my Elders."

Verqelle has now moved to Birpai Country with her children more than 10 years ago and this new life has had a major influence on her art.
