About the Artist

Nuriah Jadai: I’ve been painting since I was born, and my work has been deadly since I was four years old. I had a good eye for detail at seven or eight, especially when painting dragons, and that’s when I realised I had a talent for painting and working with colour. I began painting with the old people, the Yulparija elders, in 1997. In 2011, I started focusing on my art career in Parngurr, where I began painting with my family, the Taylor family. I’ve always lived between Bidyadanga and Parngurr, which has given me a deeper understanding of my people, culture and Country.

My photography has been exhibited at the Perth Centre for Photography (2022), QV1 Building in Perth (2023), Lawson Flats (2024) and Lawrence Wilson Gallery (2025). I was also proud to win Best Works on Paper at the Shin Art Award (2024) in Broome. Creating art helps release the pain in my mind, and it brings me joy to see people’s responses to my work. For me, it’s all about sharing visions and dreams.

Camera Story is a charitable organisation that champions positive photography. Committed to supporting women to be free from economic and social dependency, through the development of practical commercial and creative photographic skills. Camera Story works alongside Kimberley based First Nations women and like-minded Kimberley focused organisations to recognise the inherent talent that lies in First Nations women, develop their creative confidence and create opportunities for economic participation.

We use the camera lens to build practical skills, confidence and communication skills to increase vocational capacity, explore social issues, and build connections with community and environment.

Camera Story is based in Rubibi (Broome), Kimberley region of Western Australia.
