Our Story

DHIIYAAN ART

Dhiiyaan (Dee-yarn) = Family

We acknowledge all the Traditional Custodians of this beautiful country and recognise the continuing connection to land, waters and community 

Dhiiyaan Art started as a family collaboration with my father Peter and his wife Samantha. Due to full time work commitments they add pieces only when possible.

My name is Jess and I am a proud Aboriginal woman that loves sharing and embracing my culture with the world. I'm happily married with two beautiful daughters living on Wonnarua country.

I was born and raised on Awabakal land with my ancestral family connections with the Barkindji, Ngemba, Gamilaraay/Yuwaalaraay areas within NSW.

My art depicts the beauty of nature and it's elements. I draw inspiration from the beautiful country on which we live, as well as creating art that is reflective of family, community and belongin
