Kooma woman of the Uralarai people of South West Queensland, Pamela Joy Croft was born in Cooma, NSW in 1955. Croft’s work is held in a number of permanent collections including the National Museum of Australia. She was a featured artist in the 2001 “Gatherings, Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art from Queensland, Australia” exhibition in Brisbane and her artist statement for that show reads: “I portray the importance of tradition, recognition of ancestors, respect for uniqueness in spiritual expression, facilitation of an understanding with the context of history and culture, a sense of place. I hope my work recognises and empowers the inherent strength of Aboriginal peoples and challenges non-Aboriginal people to truly listen and absorb in order to move to a place of understanding of our world.” Croft was awarded a PhD from Griffith University in 2003.
