Biography
Joan Martin, born c. 1940s, was a Yamatji artist from the Murchison region in the Western Australian wheatbelt. As a child Martin was given the name Kulyarrdoo, and as an artist later in life she went by the name of Yarrna. Martin, who spent much of her adult life in Perth, created the painting upon which the design for the mosaic for the floor of the main building at the Centre for Aboriginal Studies at the Curtin University of Technology in Perth was based. The Centre for Aboriginal Studies website states that “the painting depicts the coming together in celebration of different Aboriginal tribal groups from many parts of the country” (Accessed 21 May 2009). Martin also created paintings and painted ceramics based on Yamatji ancestral stories, examples of which are in the collection of the Curtin University of Technology Art Collection. In 1994 her work was shown in a solo exhibition, 'Yarrna: paintings 1982-1994’, at the Erica Underwood Gallery at the Curtin University of Technology. Martin passed away in 2008.
