Arron Yarran, a prominent Nyiyaparla artist and seasoned Lecturer in Youth Work, holds ancestral ties to Roy Hill/Ethel Creek, Pilbara, and Busselton. Bestowed with the name 'Warrajirri' by Nyiyaparla Elders, mirroring her esteemed Great Grandmother, Louisa Hester, Arron's art weaves the stories of her people and her own journey straddling Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal worlds. With a commitment to community engagement, particularly with youth and elders, Arron's initiatives have led to educational reintegration and employment. Her art, showcased in Perth, regional Australia, Paris, Germany, Switzerland, and China, earned her an 'Artist in Residence' at Karajini National Park in 2015. Collaborating with renowned artists, achieving academic excellence, and conducting workshops, Arron is a multifaceted force enriching the cultural tapestry.
Beyond the confines of studio and gallery, Arron extends her passion for art to the community by conducting workshops, cultural activities, and storytelling sessions through art in various venues across the Perth Metropolitan and Rural area.
