'A 'Legend' is a timeless tale of learning and immense story, a legend is also and aptly, amongst us : Jenuarrie Warrie is a Koinjmal woman born in 1944 in Rockhampton who has enjoyed a long and hard-fought career in the arts, as an educator, across the civic sector, and as an advocate for arts funding policy for decades. She is a luminary of her arts field (a painter, also specialising in works of paper) and one of our first artists to be recognised from regional Queensland, namely by winning Queensland Art Gallery's Andrew and Lilian Pederson Memorial Prize for Printmaking in 1987)'

— Appears in: Koori Mail , 5 June no. 827 2024; (p. 38)
'Being in the presence of great artists is something profound and exhilarating - even for those of us who are also artists and who know a wealth of talented and knowledgeable artists. There's something wholly unlike the experiences one has with the greats. I hope I never use the word 'great' lightly. I don't think I ever have, and I certainly don't use it lightly here.'
