Karen Doolan of the Tjukuluka, Waka Waka and Kookuyulingi clans in Queensland was born in 1967. Her brightly coloured paintings on canvas and paper are informed by her many totems of her cultural heritage. Her artist statement in the catalogue for the 2001 exhibition “Gatherings, Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art from Queensland, Australia” says, “My paintings are mostly of my totems – the brolga, munda (brown snake) and owl, as well as flowers used in bush medicine.”
