Lily-mae Kerley

Lily is a Menang Ngadju Noongar/Badimaya Yamaji woman born and raised in Geraldton. Lily’s work reflects her time with her family and being out on Country. As an emerging artist Lily’s preferred medium was initially silk, where she would use different dying techniques to dye silk scarves. She then began moving her designs onto lino which she would use to create prints for the scarves. Lily has recently taken up painting, which is her current practice. She uses the colours of Country, from ochres and earthy browns to the bright pinks of wildflowers, to the deep blues the ocean.
