Artist and author Karen Rogers is a Ngalakan woman from Ngukurr, a remote community in southeast Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. Her artwork comes from cultural knowledge and her feelings for the land. She studied visual art at Batchelor Institute.
Karen works across textiles, glass, painting, and animation. Wanmari, written and illustrated by Karen and directed by Jake Duczynski, was a finalist in the NATSIA Awards. Karen's also an author of a picture book called Main Abija about her grandfather.
In this episode, Karen talks about how her feelings for country flow into her work, how following story leads her to paint, and the cultural law she is both bound by and nourished by.
We HEART Karen Rogers.
