My name is Joan Evans. My family and I are Kuruma. I was born in Roebourne in 1952 and lived there till 1984, when I moved to Wickham. I have two daughters whom have blessed me with five grand children.
I have only just recently started painting. I enjoy and prefer to do scribble and circle work as I am learning new skills and techniques in the art area. I was employed with CDEP, and based at Muralagauh Buai a Torres Strait Islander art centre as a cleaner at first but soon become interested in the aspects of art and craft and then decided to enroll in an art course which I thoroughly enjoy.
When I was young I spent a lot of time with my grandparents' during the school holidays. Late at night I would lay back and watch the stars and listen to the stories that my grandmother would share. I remember one story that my grandmother told me about when the emus lays their eggs you can see a giant emu in the sky formed from the stars.
My time with grandmother listening to all the interesting stories she would share with me has influenced greatly in my ideas and paintings.
