Biography
Born in 1965, Lisa Sorbie Martin from Moa and Murray Islands in the Torres Strait works across the mediums of painting and textile. Her work was featured in the 'Great South Land’ exhibition at the new Parliament House in Canberra in 1999 and the 2000 exhibition 'Ilan Pasin’ at Cairns Regional Gallery. Her artist statement in the catalogue for the 2001 exhibition “Gatherings, Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art from Queensland, Australia” explains that her inspiration “comes from three sources: culture and family; ocean and environment; my faith. My art reflects the positive and colourful uniqueness and beauty of all these.” This entry is a stub. You can help the DAAO by submitting a biography.
