Christie Pope

Hi, I’m Christie Pope,

My story unfolds with the legacy of my Grandfather, who, at birth, was entrusted to his maternal Aunt due to his Mother’s unmarried stature and his Father’s Aboriginal heritage. Proudly rooted in Dubbo, New South Wales, my Wiradjuri identity is a source of immense pride, anchoring me in a rich cultural legacy.

From an early age, my profound connection to culture and art became a driving force. Through my artistic endeavours, I merge the stories of my family’s past and present, capturing the essence of the Dreamtime and the vibrant world that surrounds us.

Beyond being an artist, I am a devoted Wife to a proud Arrernte man. In the roles of a Mother, Grandmother and Sister, love and responsibility define my daily life. These connections form the heart of my identity, grounding me in the intricate layers of family and culture.
