My name is Alison Simpson (yalidyan – my Wiradjuri name). I am a Wiradjuri woman from central NSW as well as Wemba Wemba from northwest VIC and am culturally connected to many other places. I currently live and work on Djiriganj & Thaua countries within the Yuin nation where I have done so on and off over the past 25 years.

I commenced my artistic journey in 2013 where I started painting for therapeutic reasons and have done so in my spare time ever since. I have a brother and sister who are also Aboriginal artists. My artworks are considered as contemporary, and I generally use acrylic paints on canvas. My artworks are often quite bright using an array of different colours.

The inspiration for the narratives I create through my artworks come from the landscape, environment or surroundings which I am in, the people I am with and the experiences I encounter.
