Fiona Tipiloura
Fiona lives in Milikapiti raising her young son Jayden. When Jayden is at school Fiona likes to paint at Jilamara where she has been a member artist since 2016.
Fiona says, “I like making paintings in the Tiwi way but also in my own way. I like painting bush tucker from the land and the sea around the Tiwi Islands. I like to hunt for Jukwarringa (Mud Mussels), Kurumpuka (Mud Crabs), Piranga (Long Bum), Yuwurli (Mangrove Worms). I paint these things in the Tiwi way, my way.”
One day Fiona would like to buy a boat and visit her country from the sea.
