Derby Jetty Queen

This portrait is none other than the ‘Derby Jetty Queen’ Katlyn Yeeda a Warrwa woman (Derby region) who is passionate about fishing - so much so, that she has gathered 28K followers on her social media documenting her fishing adventures. Her down to earth & lively personality has endeared her to thousands of fellow ‘fishaholics’ all over the world. Katlyn was thrilled to have me paint her holding up a mud crab which she caught on the day she taught me how to fish from the Derby boat ramp.

20% from the sale of this painting goes to Katlyn.
