Our Story
Bayadherra is founded by proud Aboriginal Yorta Yorta brother and sister Luke and Siena Tieri. They are descendants of the James Family from Shepparton Victoria and their grandfather Glenn James OAM is recognised as the first Indigenous man to umpire Australian rules football in the VFL and AFL.
As emerging artists with an Aboriginal business, their mission is to promote reconciliation and cultural awareness and understanding by collaborating with clients and reflecting their Indigenous heritage in authentic contemporary art pieces designed for your home or office space. 'Bayadherra' in Yorta Yorta language means 'turtle', the spiritual animal totem of the Yorta Yorta clan: a name reflective of Luke and Siena's Aboriginal identity and connection to community and country.
Bayadherra is 100% Aboriginal owned and operated.
