Biography
Irene O’Loughlin, Narungga artist, was born in Point Pearce, South Australia, in 1944. She spent her childhood at the Point Pearce Mission Station and then moved to Melbourne in 1962, but often returned to her ancestral lands in the Yorke Peninsula. O’Loughlin’s practice includes painting and drawing, and her works take both an abstract and illustrative form. As she writes in the Victorian Indigenous Art Awards 2005 catalogue: 'My ideas come from memories of mission life and Narungga culture and how I remember plant life and bush tucker from the Yorke Peninsula’ (pg 26). O’Loughlin was a finalist in the 2005, 2006 and 2007 Victorian Indigenous Art Awards. Exhibitions have included the solo show 'Down the Point’ (2005) and 'She Who Inspires ' (2005), both at the Walker Street Gallery in Dandenong. In 2009 O’Loughlin was living in Melbourne.This entry is a stub. You can help the DAAO by submitting a biography. Writers: Fisher, Laura Date written: 2011 Last updated: 2011
