 ROBYN CAUGHLIN


One of Australia's foremost artists, Robyn Caughlan is as well-known for her textile designs as she is for her murals and paintings. Her versatility and extensive creative abilities have led to her being commissioned to create art works for streetscapes and development projects.

Born at Westmead in 1949, she is the 6th child of a mother descended from Darug and Darkinjung people and an Irish Catholic Father. She moved to a foster home when she was 5 and a half, attended convent schools until leaving at the age of 13.

She married at the age of 17 and had 3 children by the time she was 21. Trapped in a marriage punctuated by frequent episodes of domestic violence, it was only at the age of 30 that she became aware of her Aboriginal heritage. Discovering her Aboriginal roots helped Robyn make sense of her life.
