Hill, Marji: - "Marji Hill, an artist and painter since childhood, runs her art career alongside the writing of her books.Marji's art explores themes connected to Australian history and the Australian landscape. Black/white relations in Australia, reconciliation, Eureka, gold, and simple responses to land and sea are common threads in her work.Painting has been a lifetime passion. Marji's formal art training took place in the 1980s at the ANU School of Art & Design (formerly Canberra School of Art).She has held eight solo exhibitions in Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney and has participated in various group shows.One of her large paintings was included in the 2004-2005 Ballarat Fine Art Gallery's Traveling Exhibition Eureka Revisited: the Contest of Memories - part of the 150-year celebration of the Eureka Stockade.Two of her large paintings were commissioned by the Citigold Corporation. Jupiters Lucky Strike celebrates the discovery of gold by Indigenous boy, Jupiter Mosman in 1871 at Charters Towers. The other is a portrait of Jupiter Mosman.Marji's paintings are in many private collections both in Australia and overseas and she is represented in the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery and Ballarat and Sydney campuses of the Australian Catholic University. Alongside her art Marji has been writing books to promote understanding between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians. She fostered the spirit of reconciliation in all her work since she was Research Fellow in Education at the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) in Canberra.Marji, together with her late partner, Alex Barlow, produced more than sixty-five books on all aspects of Aboriginal Australia.In 1989 Marji was the Project Coordinator of Australian Aboriginal Culture the official Australian Government publication on Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders.
