Lorraine Connelly-Northey (born 1962 in Swan Hill, Victoria) is an Australian Aboriginal artist, a descendant of the Waradgerie (Wiradjuri) people.
[2] Lorraine Connelly-Northey's artistic practice is influenced by both her western and Indigenous heritage.
She is known for her over-sized woven installations that take the shape of traditional Aboriginal everyday life objects, such as koolimans (bowls) and narbongs (dilly bags).
[3] For creating her pieces she uses found natural and industrial materials, such as feathers, shells, corrugated iron, and wire.
In 2023, to commemorate 100 years of legacy, the Australian War Memorial acquired a sculpture by Connelly-Northey, which consists of 100 steel-made coolamons.
