Marjorie Liddy (17 October 1932 – 23 August 2016) was an Indigenous Australian elder and artist from the Tiwi Islands in the Northern Territory.
The mission had been founded in 1941 by the Roman Catholic Missionaries of the Sacred Heart as a home for mixed-blood children, including those stolen from their indigenous families in other parts of the Northern Territory.
[2][3] Liddy designed the image that was widely used in Pope Benedict XVI's visit to World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney.
Liddy was part of a group of indigenous women who formed a guard of honour for the Pope at World Youth Day.
Archbishop Christopher Prowse wrote that after what he believes was a kind of apparition, Liddy was encouraged to paint what she saw in the night sky by her priest and bishop.
