Rosalind Langford

Rosalind has lived in Tasmania since about 1980 having been born on the Cummeragunja Mission near Echuca, Victoria.  Her mother was a Yorta Yorta woman and her father an Aboriginal Tasmanian.  Her father taught her to paint in her early life and she follows her father's style of figure movement. She was the founding member and State Secretary of the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre, the State Area Manager for the Tasmanian Aboriginal Development Commission and also chaired the Tasmanian Aboriginal Education Unit for some time.

"My artwork incorporates symbols and motifs in a contemporary style and medium. Many of my artworks are presently being used by schools in Tasmania as awareness programs on Aboriginal Culture in Tasmania. I have lectured on Aboriginal Culture and Aboriginal Political issues at the University of Tasmania, Adult Education Aboriginal Studies Unit, Rosny College and various primary schools throughout Tasmania. I have also conducted Aboriginal awareness seminars for the Antarctic Division (Tasmania) and the Department of Education and the Arts."
