Yeerdian (Lynette) was born in Mineng Boodja in 1954. Her country is
the coastal landscape between Denmark in the west to Israelite Bay in
Western Australia's South-east, bordered by sea to the south and
finishes atthe end of the Tullarark (blue-mallee) to the north.
From childhood Lynette love of art began when as a child Lynette and
extended family members used sand and sticks to draw into smoothed
down patches of sand. Lynette's art has transformed into acrylic
mediums on canvas and traditional dots and circles are now
reinterpreted into contemporary colourful pieces that expressively
relate to her country and never ending circles of life.

collectors.
