Artist

Brenton Bowen is a proud Guugu Yimithirr speaking man from Hope Vale, a small Aboriginal Community in far North Queensland. Brenton has grown a deep passion for Indigenous art, describing his painting as the connecting source to his motherland and community. The skills he has acquired grew from watching the elders of Hope Vale paint, and some of his most cherished memories from his childhood are hunting and fishing with family and friends. Brenton is grateful to have experienced the traditions that Indigenous people have practiced for thousands of years, which has provided him with the knowledge to educate his child and continue to pass on stories and Indigenous customs.
