About the Artist

Born in Wyndham in 1971, Geraldine Bedford is a Gija woman with deep roots in both the East and West Kimberley. Her connection to Country, culture, and storytelling runs in her blood — she is the niece of acclaimed Warmun artists and sisters Lena Nyadbi and Goody Barrett, and the granddaughter of renowned painter Paddy Bedford.

Geraldine’s father, Joe Lisadell, was a stockman and the younger brother of Lena and Goody. Her mother, Mary-Lou Bedford, met Joe while they were both working at Bedford Downs Station—Joe as a stockman, Mary-Lou as a station maid. Though her father later returned to live with his sisters at Lisadell Station, Geraldine spent much of her childhood in the West Kimberley, growing up at Mount House Station, Gibb River, and Mount Barnett with her mother, stepfather Robert Dutchie and extended family.

In later years, she moved between the East and West Kimberley, eventually settling in Warmun. In 2017, she moved into Lena’s former home, the same year Lena relocated to Aged Care in Halls Creek.

Geraldine is a proud mother of four and grandmother to ten. Her deepening engagement with painting was inspired by stories passed down from her aunties Lena and Goody. With their encouragement and blessing, she began painting in earnest, continuing the legacy of her remarkable family.

“Somebody have to keep on carrying my painting,” Lena told her. Geraldine paints with permission from her relatives and with a strong sense of purpose: to honour her cultural inheritance, stay connected to her Country, and ensure her knowledge is passed on.

“I love working hard, and painting keeps us busy. And I want to pass it on to my children and grandchildren.”
