Judy Watson / Artist biography

Judy Watson's matrilineal Waanyi inheritance is her artistic touchstone and she has explored aspects of her heritage through the mediums of printmaking, drawing, painting and a series of major public art commissions. During her numerous residencies and journeys abroad, Watson has observed other cultures and used her experiences to enrich her understanding of her own.
