Deidre Burgoyne Rosier

About The Artist

Deidre is a proud Kokotha/Mirning/Wirangu woman, who grew up in Port Lincoln, South Australia. She is one of 10 children (with five sisters and four brothers), and fondly remembers growing up playing on the sandhills and listening to her father tell stories and speaking in language. In 1999, Deidre and her family (seven children and 10 grandchildren) moved to Ballarat, where she continues to share her great love of animals through her paintings.

Even though she has no formal training as an artist, Deidre continues to receive recognition and commissions for her popular artwork of the many animals with whom we share the planet, and her beautifully detailed and evocative 'Water Dreaming' and 'Desert Flowers' paintings.

As well as enjoying being the Artist in Residence here at Raintree Art, in 2019 she taught art to children at Phoenix College, painted artwork for the Ballarat Begonia Festival in 2021, and has recently completed a public art installation at Ballarat Neighbourhood Centre.
