Avril Chapman is an exceptional yinaar, born and still living in the New England Region of Northern New South Wales, with Ngurrabul/Yuwaalaraay /Kooma ties.
There is no limit of mediums Avril hasn’t worked with, acrylic paint, oil paints, natural resources e.g., feathers, gemstone, man-made beads, wire work, rocks, driftwood, nuts, leaves and shells.
With an ecofriendly outlook on art, Avril love to recycle and repurpose natural objects and manmade items like rusty wire, timber, and materials (recycled clothing) etc. The depths of her art circle around a cultural meaning as her ancestors also used what was around them and utilised everything that was available to them. Certainly, doing her bit to heal country, reduce landfill and contamination.
