Biography
Philomena Yeatman of the Gunganji people of Yarrabah, North Queensland was born in 1960. Yeatman is a traditional weaver of baskets but began her artistic career working in screenprinting and jewellery making. She weaves her baskets from natural materials such as the leaves from pandanas and cabbage palms. Her baskets were included in the 2001 Brisbane exhibition “Gatherings, Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art from Queensland, Australia”. She states in the accompanying catalogue that “to make these baskets is a skill passed on through the generations and shows the patience that has been part of Aboriginal culture for centuries.” In 2003, Yeatman participated in Queensland Art Gallery’s “Story Place” exhibition.
