- Maria Watson-Trudgett
Maria Watson-Trudgett is a proud Koori woman and 'fresh water' girl of the Wiradyuri people. As a self-taught artist and storyteller, Maria's artwork is deeply connected to her Aboriginal culture, Country, and family. Through her art, she shares the stories of her Country and preserves cultural traditions, creating a sense of belonging and strengthening her Aboriginal identity.
Maria began painting in 2009 as a way to relax from the stress of full-time university studies. Encouraged by an Aboriginal Elder who advised her to share her cultural stories, Maria started participating in art exhibitions and competitions. Her talent was immediately recognised, with her first entry winning the main award and the artwork being sold.
Since then, Maria has won several awards and has exhibited her work nationally in various galleries and exhibitions, including Parliament House. Her artwork has been commissioned by both corporate organisations and private collectors, both within Australia and internationally. Maria has also used her art to raise funds for various causes, including Indigenous scholarships, remote Indigenous eye care, disability support services, and school programs.
In addition to her artistic pursuits, Maria provides First Nations Strategic advice and insight to organisations, helping them develop their cultural capability and engage with First Nations peoples and communities. Her business is shaped around sharing her Aboriginal culture and cultural intelligence through her artwork and meaningful collaborations.
Maria Watson Trudgett's artwork is a testament to her deep connection to her culture and her commitment to preserving and sharing the stories of her people. Her unique perspective and storytelling abilities make her an important voice in the Australian art world, and her contributions to various causes demonstrate her dedication to making a positive impact in her community and beyond.
