Kaureen Bird was taught to paint by her mother, acclaimed artist Marie Ryder. Kaureen paints the stories handed to her through the generations. Her Women's Ceremony and Dancing paintings include aspects of women's body paint designs and ceremonial dancing, as well as topographic landscape features of her country, such as where bush tucker and bush medicines can be found. Like her mother, Kaureen painted with great finesse and eye for detail, but enjoyed working in bright and bold colours, often incorporating fluorescent or metallic paints.
