My name is Karen Taylor and I was born in Port Augusta
South Australia. I started painting when I was 11 years old, because I had
to help my grandmother, as she lost her eye sight.
I lived in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, for 24 years, where I learnt
a lot more about Aboriginal paintings. I saw the different styles that each
group had. I now have my own style, using stories my grandmother had taught
me.

| My Name is Isabella Taylor and I was born on Roxby Downs
Station in Outback South Australia, before uranium was found there. My father
and grandparents were full blood Kookatha people. My mother’s people
and grandparents were full blood Antikirinya, Yankuntjatjara, Pitjantjatjara
and Arrernte, including Irish from my mum’s side.
When I was a small child I remember traveling from Roxby Downs to Woomera,
then to Andamooka by camel and buggy or camel cart. The trips were slow
and relaxing and I was able to jump off and pick a wild-flower or wild
peach I spotted or do things that one can’t normally do, when traveling
by car. At night I slept under the stars nestled between my parents or
grandparents.
They would tell me stories about the many stars, the moon and the sounds
of crickets, animals scurrying about the darkness or the occasional howling
dingo. The only light aside from the moon and stars was the beautiful
big fire crackling away. I always made sure I was in the middle of everyone
or nearest to the fire!
My Painting is what I have seen around from my childhood until now. I
paint the way I see things in the beautiful creation, with traditional
dots and stories. I try to stick to the colours of nature to keep the
true identity of my little characters.
I now live in Port Augusta, with the beautiful Flinders Ranges and Desert
Lands as my back yard.
Thankyou for reading my brief story and appreciating my work.
