Artist Profile Magazine: Issue 57 

Well known for her decades of inspirational artistic expression is Bundjalung woman Bronwyn Bancroft. In his cover essay on the artist, Brad Buckley has analysed and celebrated the depth and breadth of Bancroft’s work.  Bancroft’s pioneering feats across many genres have shown what was and is possible for First Nations people, in a century when a settler nation was only just learning to value its Aboriginal heritage. Her work as a founding member of Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative in the late 1980s has been transformative for many artists. Buckley reveals that Bancroft’s artworks are her most important achievements. Her artistic expressions have been celebrated both nationally and internationally in exhibitions and collections. 

Also featured are the stories and artworks from Marlene Gilson, Brett Graham, Dean Bowen, Jumaddi, Jonathan Jones and Giles Alexander.
