Tiarne was born and raised on Wiradjuri Country in Wagga Wagga, and now lives and works on Yorta Yorta Country between Shepparton and Cobram. She is just one of many in her family who paint, including her two children. Tiarne joined Kaiela Arts in 2014 as an artist, and works across a range of mediums including painting, watercolour, drawing, and printmaking, and has also painted several murals around the region. She has worked closely with other Kaiela Arts artists to create ‘Yalka Lotjpa Nha’, a children’s Yorta Yorta language book. She uses her art to express her strong connection to country and family and her works have been featured in a number of arts fairs and exhibitions. You can read more about Tiarne’s artworks in her artist bio. In 2023, Tiarne took on a role as Front of House and Digital Communications Coordinator, where she manages our social media accounts and website, and runs our front-of-house operations during the week.
