Lisa Michl Ko-manggén is a celebrated and awarded visual artist and artistic director who has exhibited in 17 solo and 80+ group exhibitions nationally and internationally, representing Australia’s First Nations people at art events in Europe, USA, Pacific, and Caribbean Islands. Lisa lives in Gimuy (Cairns) and is of Pa la Nganduw Kedew, Dingo Clan of the Kokoberrin People. Lisa’s traditional homelands on her mother’s and grandmother’s side are known as Pinnarinch and Lisa’s ancestral homeland extends from Mudpalangen, mouth of the Staaten River area, and the area between and a bit beyond the Barku, Nassau and Staaten Rivers, in Western Cape York Peninsula, it extends further along the Staaten River then following Wyabba Creek, into Staaten River National Park in the east. The wild and remote lands of Pinnarinch encompass several important creation places with Ko-manggén being one of them. In Kokoberrin language Ko-manggén means catfish. The totem name was given to Lisa by her great grandfather, the most senior Kokoberrin elder and lore man. Lisa translates the traditional art, culture, lore, and language of her Kokoberrin people into her beautiful artworks. Lisa has been creating and exhibiting her fine art paintings, prints,
jewellery, and giftware for 27 years.
