Claudia Moodoonuthi’s work draws from a rich lineage of Kaiadilt women including her grandmother May Moodoonuthi, Sally Gabori and Netta Loogatha. Like them, Claudia’s paintings reflects her deep connection to Country, with her bold and colourful works in dialogue with the language, history and family of the Kaiadilt people of Bentinck Island. Claudia’s style is bright, youthful and intimate. She uses her art to reflect her experiences living on Country, and shares stories of times spent with her family hunting and gathering food in the bush.
