Jessica Begg
Yued Noongar Woman
Jessica is a proud Yued Noongar descendant living in her hometown of Moora, Western Australia, with her family. She felt inspired to create art as a way of feeling connected to her culture, which has been mostly lost due to her great grandfather being part of the stolen generation.
She draws inspiration from her family, the native flora and rough spinifex of the Yued region, the heat in the summer, the Moore River and the meeting places in between. She uses an unrestricted palette and traditional shapes and symbols to create a contemporary interpretation of her culture.
