Biography[edit]

Liyawaday Wirrpanda is an Indigenous Australian artist from the Yolngu people, born on December 31st, 1972[2], in the Miwatj Region, Northern Territory [3]. She is part of the Dhuwa moiety, and more specifically is part of the Dhudi-Djapu clan[4]. Aside from her birth name, Liyawaday also goes by the name Kathy L W and Kathy L Marawili [4]. She is the third wife of the major artist, Djambawa Marawili [2]. The two reside together in Marawili’s homeland of Yilpara. She grew up surrounded by famous artists, notably her grandfather, Narritjin Maymuru, her mother, Galuma Maymuru, and her husband. However, it wasn’t until her husband insisted that she pursue her artistic endeavors on her own that Wirrpanda really became a successful and independent artist[2].

Life as an Artist[edit]

As the granddaughter of the famous artist Narritjin Maymuru, husband to Djambawa Marawili, and daughter to Galuma Maymuru, Wirrpanda has been immersed in the art practice her whole life. She owns the special power to draw her own Dhudi Djapu clan designs, granted to her by her father [2]. Wirrpanda learned the art of painting by assisting her husband, Djambawa Marawili, as well as other family members in their artistic endeavors, gaining skills particularly in the traditional method of fine cross-hatching using brushes made from human hair[2].

She spent most of her early artist life assisting her husband, until he insisted that she step out from his shadow and become her own name [2]. With Djambawa’s encouragement, Liyawaday began to paint under her own name and flourish in the art market. Her career really took off in 2009 with her first exhibition at Annandale, which marked her emergence as an independent artist. Over the years, she has participated in several significant projects and exhibitions, such as the Djalkiri project in 2010 [5], which included collaborations with some of Australia's renowned mainstream artists [2]. However, it wasn’t until the show at Annandale in 2011 that her status as an independent artist was confirmed [2]. Despite this title, she remains a large contributor to Marawili’s major works[2]. She also works alongside her well-known artist mother, Galuma Maymuru. The mother daughter pair exhibited together in the 2015 Mother to Daughter: On Art and Caring for Homelands exhibition at the Cross Art Projects as part of Contemporary art and Feminism[6].

Moiety[edit]

Liyawaday is part of the Dhudi-Djapu clan, which belongs to the Dhuwa moiety. Moiety plays a central role in Yolŋu kinship systems, governing social relationships, responsibilities, and cultural practices. The major spiritual themes of her clan include Mäna and the Djan’kawu sisters. Liyawaday’s last name, Wirrpanda, is a result of being a member of this clan. She speaks the Dhuwal language[7].
