Courtney Mckay

Courtney is a Yindjibarndi and Guruma woman living in Roebourne, WA.Β She started painting in year nine with paint and watercolour, and never got to keep her paintings as they always sold straight away!

She started painting with Juluwarlu Art Group around the age of 18 or 19, participating in workshops such as the Water Corp animation project where she contributed a painting about Barrimirndi creating the Fortescue River during Ngurra Nujugamu.Β 

Courtney likes painting because it allows her to learn about culture from her Elders as she paints. She also likes to weave things like baskets and earrings, and is currently Team Leader at Juluwarlu's Ganalili Centre in Roebourne.Β
