Jacqui Hunter
I'm a Bardi Jawi person from Ardyaloon - on the Kimberley coast, right on the tip of the Dampier Peninsula. We’re surrounded by blue crystal waters of the Buccaneer Archipelago. This is the most beautiful place on earth you can be. It’s so peaceful. It’s like a healing place. It’s just a place you wanna relax on the soft sand and watch the blue ocean come in and go out. It’s heaven here.
My dad; my whole family is here. I have two grown up girls, and I grew up 8 of my nephews. They’re scattered everywhere now! I’ve just got my little 6 year old nephew with me now. I go to our family block every weekend - Hunter’s creek- between Ardyaloon and Cape Leveque.
I’ve worked at the Ardyaloon school for 17 years; now I’m training to be a teacher down in Perth. I want to be a teacher because I love children; our Aboriginal children need us.
I’ve always loved painting - my grandmother was a painter. All my cousins are painters. I’ve started painting at home - I just love doing it.
