LORRAINE DAYLIGHT
Warranany and Wangkarnal
Lorraine Daylight has been painting at the Warmun Art Centre since 1999. Daylight was taught to paint by her senior relatives, Hector JANDANY and Jack BRITTEN, who were both established Warmun artists of high regard. Hector was Daylight's ganggayi (grandfather). Daylight's father, Gordon BARNEY, is also a well-known Warmun artist.
Daylight has a close connection to her family's country, mainly because many bush trips are organised by the senior men to go out fishing and hunting for bush turkey, kangaroo and goanna throughout the year. Daylight takes advantage of these trips and often sends her three boys to experience and learn the bush ways. Daylight's main themes come from the traditional oral stories of the Ngarrgooroon or Texas Downs Station country. Daylight's mother, Jeanne DAYLIGHT, lived out on Texas Downs Station as a young women. She, too, now lives in Warmun.
In 1999, Lorraine won the Encouragement Award at the highly competitive East Kimberley Art Award.
