Shane Brown is a proud artist with strong connections to both the Yuin Nation on his mother’s side and the Dunghutti Nation on his father’s side. He began painting at the age of 12, developing his skills alongside his mother, Aunty Lorraine Brown, one of Coomaditchie’s senior artists and cultural leaders.
Shane’s art reflects his deep respect for culture, family and community. His works are more than visual expressions—they carry stories, values and teachings that have been passed down through generations. With each piece, Shane contributes to the preservation of cultural knowledge, helping to ensure it remains alive and strong for the future.
Influenced by the wisdom of his Elders and grounded in his own lived experience, Shane’s practice is both personal and collective. Through his art, he shares a vision that connects the past with the present and inspires future generations to be proud of who they are and where they come from.
As a maturing artist within the Coomaditchie community, Shane plays a vital role in carrying culture forward, continuing the legacy of his family while carving out his own unique path.
