Robyn Jean is an award-winning local Aboriginal photographer. As an artist, Robyn is full of creative energy and has a sharp eye for the unique, drawing on her culture, experience and photographic studies to create outstanding images.
In 2023, Robyn was the joint winner of the 'Rotary Club of Karrinyup Local Artist Award' for a photographic portrait of her mother, renowned Nyoongar artist, Norma MacDonald.
The judges thought this work beautifully captures the essence of the sitter.
They said “there is clearly a strong relationship between the sitter and the artist here - a reverence for the subject. The artwork transposes the European canon and expands on it. There is accomplished use of light and dark shadow. It is technically excellent.”
