Aunty Frances is a respected Elder who was born in Bendigo in 1926 and is proudly from the Gunditjmara people of Western Victoria. Aunty Frances studied at RMIT and received her Diploma at the age of 87. Within her landscape depictions of her Gunditjmara tribal lands, and ancestral memories, Aunty Frances contemplates the significance of place, family connection, spirituality and social displacement.
