About the Artist

My name is Eliza Jane Chatfield, but most people know me as Janey Chatfield. I am a proud Kamilaroi woman, a contemporary Aboriginal artist born and raised on Ngunnawal land.

Art wasn’t always part of my journey—I discovered it in 2024 when I realized it was an incredible way to express myself creatively. Since then, it has become a powerful outlet for sharing my life experiences, culture, and connection to Country.

My father was born a Kamilaroi man in Gulargambone, NSW, but was raised on Hollywood Mission on Ngunnawal land in Yass, NSW. His story, along with the strength and resilience of my ancestors, deeply influences my work.

I love creating unique artworks that reflect my personal journey, and I also take great pride in working on special commission pieces, bringing others’ stories to life through my art.
