Artist Profiles | Current Exhibition

Faye Parriman is a Yamatji and Noongar artist, educator and community advocate whose work reflects resilience, cultural survival and connection to Country. Drawing on memories of growing up in Western Australia and her experiences as a member of the Stolen Generations, her paintings use rich symbolism and storytelling to honour Aboriginal culture, family and identity. Alongside her artistic practice, Faye has spent more than three decades supporting Aboriginal families through education, research and culturally responsive community work, and was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters by Charles Darwin University in 2025. Her cultural legacy continues through her family and the development of the Minga Yarning Mat, a culturally safe engagement tool used across Aboriginal community services.

Natasha Lloyd is a contemporary Aboriginal artist whose vibrant and symbolic works explore identity, memory, Country and cultural continuity through stories drawn from both desert wildflower and saltwater Country. Working across fine art, textiles and design, her practice reflects intergenerational cultural knowledge shaped by her parents: respected Yamatji and Noongar artist and educator Faye Parriman and Jabirr Jabirr/Ngumbarl and Yawuru carver and storyteller Kevin Parriman. Recognised with Top End NAIDOC Artist of the Year honours and the David Blanasi Acquisitive Art Award, Natasha’s work captures memories of place, family journeys and cultural teachings shared across generations. As both an artist and mother, she continues to nurture an evolving family art practice alongside her daughters Celina Lloyd, Leticia Lloyd and Jessica Lloyd, with her exhibition Beyond Everlastings reflecting themes of resilience, family memory and the enduring relationships between land, sea and sky Country.

Celina Lloyd is an emerging contemporary Aboriginal artist whose practice explores memory, resilience, healing and intergenerational storytelling through deeply personal reflections on family history and Country. Inspired by the experiences of her grandmother, Faye Parriman, Celina’s work honours the strength and survival of the Stolen Generations while examining themes of identity, loss and cultural continuity. Her solo exhibition Nan’s Everlasting Memories presented symbolic etchings, acrylic works and handmade paper dress sculptures that interpreted stories of mission life at Tardun Mission in Western Australia, capturing both hardship and resilience through layered imagery and texture. Coming from a strong lineage of artists and cultural educators, including her grandfather Kevin Parriman and mother Natasha Lloyd, Celina continues an intergenerational family dialogue alongside her sisters Jessica Lloyd and Leticia Lloyd. In Beyond Everlastings, her works preserve and share stories of survival, cultural strength and connection to Country for future generations.

Leticia Lloyd is a contemporary Aboriginal and digital artist whose practice explores colour, pattern, emotion and the calming rhythms of ocean Country through both traditional and digital mediums. A graduate of the Charles Darwin University Diploma of Arts program, her work combines contemporary Aboriginal art with digital illustration and design, often featuring flowing movement, layered colour palettes and intricate patterns inspired by marine life, natural landscapes and time spent on Country with family. Leticia is also internationally recognised for her published colouring book, Serenity Mandala Collection: Inspired by the Ocean, which reflects her interest in mindfulness, creativity and the therapeutic qualities of art. Deeply influenced by her grandmother Faye Parriman, mother Natasha Lloyd and grandfather Kevin Parriman, Leticia’s work reflects strong intergenerational connections to both desert wildflower and saltwater Country. Alongside her sisters Celina Lloyd and Jessica Lloyd, she contributes to an evolving family art practice grounded in storytelling, cultural continuity and shared experiences on Country, themes that continue through her works in Beyond Everlastings.

Jessica Lloyd is a contemporary Aboriginal artist whose work explores Creation stories, sky Country, ancestral knowledge and the spiritual relationships between land, sea and sky through vibrant colour, symbolism and storytelling. Widely recognised for her solo exhibition Sky Country, Jessica’s paintings interpret celestial movement, stars and Creation time narratives, reflecting how navigation, identity and spirituality are embedded within Aboriginal cultural knowledge systems and carried across generations. Her artistic practice is deeply informed by the influence of her grandmother Faye Parriman, mother Natasha Lloyd and grandfather Kevin Parriman, whose teachings continue to shape the family’s strong connections to both desert wildflower and saltwater Country. Jessica’s achievements include creating Sky, Land and Sea Country, the commissioned official stump gift artwork for the National Indigenous Cricket Championships, celebrating journeys, culture and connection across Australia through cricket. Alongside her sisters Celina Lloyd and Leticia Lloyd, Jessica contributes to an evolving intergenerational family art practice grounded in storytelling, cultural learning and lived experiences on Country, themes that continue through her works in Beyond Everlastings.
