 < /p>

Born 1953 Matrabar, Sydney, NSW

Community Artist Colin, a member of the Dharawal people on his mothers side and the Noongar people on his fathers side, is now part of the extended family of the Ngarabal people. Colin moved to Inverell from Sydney's La Perouse in the early 1980's where he has evolved into one of the finest Aboriginal Artists Australia has ever produced. A description used by Mr Wesley Noffs National Director of the Life Education Centres. Mr Noffs presented this comment after Colin had produced a mural measuring 28 metres long by 3 metres wide. Colin is also the artist who created the art used along the memorial walkway of the Myall Creek Memorial.

Colin's art has been purchased by private collectors from Holland, Denmark, Germany, United Kingdom, Cypress, Canada, United States of America, Japan and Australia. Colin Isaacs' style of imaging could be described as Dharawal – Eora – Goriwal – Noongar - Ngarabal. All these mobs play a part of Colin’s style. It may appear Colin has several styles, but Colin is a prolific artist who has utilised several mediums to display his imaging as well as create more contemporary images. Very few Aboriginal artists, if any, have been trained as artists, in the normal perception of what an artist is by white society. The Elders have passed their knowledge, know how, methods, meaning and spiritual significance of creating these images onto others to continue with the tradition. These images are not created solely for the purpose of being art, for arts sake. These images are a form of communication. They convey relationships to the land, to the Dreaming, history, life experiences as well as modern ideology.
