My Story
My name is Allira and I am a proud Biripi descendent. I was born on Darug land and grew up on Dharawal country down on the South Coast of NSW, Australia.
Growing up, I could see the ocean on my left and the Great Dividing Range on my right from my bedroom window. Attending a school with few Aboriginal students left me feeling disconnected from my culture, and the tokenistic celebrations only deepened that sense of separation. However, I was grateful for the sporting opportunities that allowed me to represent my heritage. With my dad and uncles playing professional rugby league, I had strong role models close by, showing me that I too, could achieve my goals and that Aboriginal people could be just as successful as anyone else. I am currently living my dream of living abroad and have been located in the UK for over 2 years now.
The Vision
My vision is to create designs that inspire and connect with audiences worldwide. Aboriginal art has the power to tell stories and pass down knowledge from our ancestors to future generations. Through my work, I aim to make a positive impact and educate people about Aboriginal culture.
I take a collaborative approach to every project, working closely with clients to understand their vision and tell their story in the best way possible. Bringing ideas to life is my top priority, and hearing stories from around the world only deepens my passion.
My Inspiration
A key moment that sparked my passion for Aboriginal art was seeing the elders paint at the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa Cultural Centre. I was in awe of their designs and the knowledge they held, thinking, "I want to be like them." After that, I began teaching myself about the symbols in their art, aiming to one day create my own.
The colours in my designs are inspired by the landscapes I grew up with and the places I've visited across Australia—the blues and yellows of the ocean, and the greens and browns of the mountains. These elements are central to my work and my environment around me continues to fuel my designs.
