Biography
Melbourne based artist Jirra Lulla Harvey is a Yorta Yorta and Wiradjuri painter. She works in the medium of synthetic polymer on canvas. In 2004 she was awarded the NAIDOC National Artist of the Year and in 2005 was shortlisted in the Victorian Indigenous Art Awards with her painting, Daya, garra (Here, now) . In the catalogue accompanying the awards she says that this painting is about “cultural survival and progression. The diamond patterning, resembling a traditional Victorian style, structures the rest of the image. Ochre tones create the base, and bright colours and contemporary patterning show our culture’s evolution.” (Victorian Indigenous Art Awards catalogue, 2005, pg 18). This entry is a stub.
