BIOGRAPHY
Carolanne Ken's father’s country is Mulya Ulpa, and her mother’s country is Walytjitjata, near Kanypi. She attended school in Fregon before moving to Adelaide, where she graduated in 1986. Carolanne began painting in 2004, primarily depicting Minyma Malilu Tjukurpa, a Dreaming story passed down from her maternal grandmother. Her work often features abstract representations of her Country, rendered through intricate dot work. Carolanne has participated in numerous exhibitions, and in 2019, her paintings were projected onto the Sydney Opera House as part of Badu Gili, meaning 'water light' in the Gadigal language of the traditional owners of Bennelong Point.
