Avy Robinson

Avy Robinson, born on April 9, 1941, in Cue, has a rich cultural heritage rooted in the Yamatji language. Her artistic journey began under the guidance of her mother, a talented artist from Meekatharra, with her father hailing from Quairading.

Avy is a member of the Jilbirri Weavers, a group that has proudly showcased its work across New Zealand, Melbourne, Darwin, Sydney, and Perth. She fondly recalls traveling to Darwin, where she enjoyed dancing all night to the tunes of Fitzroy Express, a memorable highlight of her artistic travels.

Weaving is more than just a craft for Avy; it is a source of relaxation and fulfillment. Her work not only connects her to her cultural roots but also provides a soothing and engaging pastime.
