My Tribal name is Winjella Dada which means "Roaming Story" and my given name is Brian Fisher.
I was born on the Aboriginal Settlement of Cherbourg in Queensland and lived with the Wakka Wakka tribe, but I belong
through my ancestry to the Kullalie tribe.
Painting has always been my life. I was taught at a very young age by my tribal elders - my Uncles - who also were taught at a very
young age.
I received an Art Grant from the Australian Art Bond at the age of 17. At that time I had a number of exhibitions by myself and
with my father, Jim Edwards.
I received a Queensland Artist of the year 1988 NIDOC Award, working as a Cultural Officer at that time Opal.
Painting the Dreamtime stories is my passion!
