'Rona Scherer comes from the Far North Queensland areas of Australia, born to a Mamu Woman and a Kuku Yalanji Man. Although her early interest in art through ceramics took a backseat to assisting her children with their education and living costs, a fat tax cheque some years ago allowed her to invest in a decent camera and begin exploring her interest in photography. She hopes to soon have a portfolio of work as an emerging photographic artist that reflects her many ideas and thoughts about capturing her people and homelands in a meaningful and connected way. Through her vocation, Scherer gets to connect with Elders and Traditional Custodians from other homelands and is looking forward to one day being able to capture unique moments which do them justice in a cultural context.'
