The Domica Hill Collection

Domica Hill is a proud Palawa woman from Lutruwita (Tasmania). From her studio on Gubbi Gubbi Country in the Sunshine Coast. Domica explores symbols and stories from past ancestors, to tell stories of the surrounding country she now lives on.

I am a Contemporary Aboriginal Artist and began painting more as a way of healing after the loss of my first luwutina (child), a little girl named Briar. I am a Palawa woman with connections to the Northwest coast of Tasmania.

Originally a secondary school teacher, I'm now finding my path exploring symbols and stories from past ancestors. I continually learn, combine my knowledge, talent and life experiences and extend them into my work. My style is contemporary and vibrant combined with some traditional elements. I make connections through the tones and hues chosen in each piece.

I believe our skin colour does not define us, but our history, family, bloodline and experiences are what create our identity. This is expressed deeply through the story work and symbolism in my pieces.
