“Bobbi Lockyer is the name. I’m an Aboriginal artist in love with rainbows and colour and couldn’t think of anything worse than grey walls and fitting inside the box. I have been described as a young creative with a unique style that turns heads. I am obsessed with the ocean and consider myself a true mermaid queen. There’s just nothing better than saltwater and I am forever collecting seashells. Born and based on Kariyarra Country in Port Hedland, my work blends my love for my community and dream for a better world with my creative soul and my passion for my homeland and all the amazing colours and iconic Pilbara landscapes that inspire me daily.

I’m a proud Ngarluma, Kariyarra, Nyulnyul and Yawuru woman, raising my four amazing boys by myself on the land that raised me. I feel a deep affinity for country and community and use my art, fashion and photography as a platform to raise awareness of social justice issues, including Indigenous rights and women’s rights. I find that creativity and community go hand in hand and one would not exist without the other, so I love being able to use my art as a force for good in the world.”
