A Noongar story is four sisters go to a sacred place where they are chased away by men who attack them with spears. The women escape the spears by fleeing to the sky, where they become the Koodjal Koodjal Djookan (Southern Cross). Alternatively four women camped near a forest and were swept into the sky.

Jessica is recognised by the Yamatji Malpa Aboriginal Corporation (YMAC).
She is also a Member of Indigenous Art Code proudly protecting artists and buyer from cultural appropriation. Jessica is wanting to create contemporary Aboriginal art as a way to create awareness of First Nations people and work towards healing and closing the gap. ❤️💛🖤

Jessica is a proud Noongar living on Yued land who first started painting after feeling an urge to learn more about her Aboriginal culture after moving back to her home town of Moora, Western Australia with her partner and 2 children after 12 years of living in Perth.

Upon having weekly visits with her nana and wanting to know more about her culture and background, she felt inspired to create art as a way of feeling connected to her culture which has mostly been lost due to her great grandfather being part of the stolen generation, being assimilated into a white society and forced to reject his Aboriginal culture.

Enjoy her beautiful art!
