Biography
Beverley May Hinch (known as Aunty May) was born in 1946 in Moree, north west New South Wales. Hinch was raised by her grandmother, Nora, who would take Hinch by horse and sulky from station to station searching for work. After the death of Nora in 1956 Hinch returned to live with her mother and they eventually moved to Toomelah Aboriginal Mission. In 1987 Hinch enrolled at Boggabilla TAFE and credits her teachers at the time for helping her through. In 1999 after completing an arts course, again at Boggabilla TAFE, Hinch, through the encouragement of teacher Paul West, began making handmade paper using the local bullrushes from the MacIntyre River at Boggabilla. Along with Joy Duncan, Hinch was a founding member of the Euraba Paper Company and she has exhibited her works of acrylic paint on handmade paper in Euraba Paper Artists at Muswellbrook Regional Arts Centre in 2005 and at the Moree Plains Gallery in 2004. She also participated in the 2004 exhibition Landmarks – Artists’ Book Show at Noosa Regional Gallery and in 2005 and again in 2006, Hinch’s work was selected to hang in the Parliament of NSW Indigenous Art Prize in Sydney.
