Merindah Funnell

Merindah Funnell is a proud young Tubba-gah woman from the Wiradjuri Nation. Her mother is a Wiradjuri woman from the Western Plains of NSW. Merindah’s great grandfather is the famous Alex Riley (‘Tracker Riley’) from Dubbo NSW. Merindah is an illustrator, mural street artist, painter, curator and an artist educator. “My artwork proudly celebrates the longest living society on earth and my strong connection to it through my upbringing in community. Entangled with strong linework, bold colours and a depth of layers my artworks are influenced by the respect and love for our land and its diverse nature and animals. The narrative of Aboriginal people and our struggles with post colonisation is interwoven within my unique style.”
