Jedess Hudson is a descendant of the Ewamian and Western Yalanji people of North Queensland. An established creative, she has made significant contributions to the art and community sector for many years.

Throughout her creative journey, Jedess has drawn deeply from her traditional homelands. Elements of the land, seasons, bush tucker, flora, and fauna are integral to her art practice, reflecting her strong connection to her heritage.

Growing up, Jedess was taught to be keenly aware of her surroundings, especially in nature, and to analyse the diverse landscape that shapes her work. This awareness continues to inspire and inform her artistic expression.
