KJH Artworks are finishing 2022 strongly, announcing their new clothing line as we approach 2023.
The family business was founded by proud Kalkadoon, Waanyi & Ngugi woman, Kylie Hill to begin the healing process after losing their son David Dungay Jr. in 2015.
After a tragic loss to a death in custody, Hill and her family began their journey of healing by sharing their stories and artworks with the world and continue to do so to this day.
"We started this business as our healing journey from losing our big son David Jnr. to a death in custody," Hill said.
"The healing from painting helps us spiritually and mentally. This is what our family needed."
KJH Artworks latest venture offers custom designed traditional works presented on shirts, dresses, skirts, boots, cups and more.
In addition to the new clothing items, KJH Artworks also offers services like custom digital portraits, hand painted originals, murals anywhere across the country and digeridoo workshops with the men and boys.
"Sharing our stories & culture is important to us. Being able to imprint our arts on all that we do is a story in itself," Hill said.
"Being together on this healing journey and leaving a legacy for our jarjums to follow is also important."
Pictured below are a few of the items now available for purchase.
KJH Artworks latest line of products were made availble on Thursday in honor of their son David's 7th year anniversary.
Kylie and her family continue to defy the odds every day with their infectiously positive approach to life and their healing journey.
Hill told National Indigenous Times that with new family members due for 2023, the cycle of inspiration will begin again which can expect us to see lots more work coming from the KJH Artworks crew in the near future.
"When starting a business, follow through with it. Don't let people in your life that haven't tried it sit back and tell you how to do it," Hill said.
"Have faith and value in your work. Remeber people will sit on the sideline a secretly hope that you fail... go our and prove them wrong.
"If you fail at something, keep trying until you get it right. It doesn't mean you can do it, it just means you need to change your mindset and work harder."
