Starphire Jacobs
Starphire Jacob’s work reflects their individuality and heritage, weaving together Dharug and Wiradjuri traditions with contemporary practice. Through painting and digital portraiture, they merge dot painting and line work to honour cultural continuity, while also exploring the intersections of their gender and queer identity. Growing up in a multicultural family has shaped their commitment to portraying diversity, affirming that all belong within culture. Their art embodies storytelling, acceptance and joy, aiming to share the richness of Aboriginal culture with as many people as possible. Starphire seeks to create personalised pieces that speak to the viewer, infuse emotion and carry the stories of those who commission them
