Tia Richards
First Nations Wiradjuri Artist, Australia
I am a First Nations Wiradjuri artist from Australia.
Myart journey started when I was incarcerated in the late 90’s. I am a business owner of a landscaping and maintenance company as well as a being a prison abolitionist and am the President of a Community based Organisation Sisters Inside Inc, which advocates the rights for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women in Queensland.
I have recently started teaching Aboriginal Art Classes with children in Kindergarten and have loved every minute of this.
My favourite thing in the world is to hang out with my children, however I spend every spare moment I have painting.
