Biography
Wakka-Wakka painter, Matthew Mullawar Anderson was born in Gayndah, South East Queensland in 1979. Anderson works in the media of sythetic polymer on canvas. He exhibited in 2001 in the “Gatherings, Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art From Queensland, Australia”, in Brisbane. He stated in the accompanying catalogue that when he is painting he thinks “about my mother, who was a self-taught artist who painted the lands where she came from. I think about the pain she suffered while growing up on her own land at Cherbourg settlement. Thinking about the country where I was born and the surrounding area where my mother’s people used to roam inspires most of my art work.” Anderson was a participating artist in the Fifth Indigenous Heritage Art Awards exhibition titled “The Art of Place.” This entry is a stub.
