Troy Little Troy was born in Northern New South Wales in an area known as Bundjalung Country. He is a member of the Bundjalung people.
He started painting around 1999, designing a unique three-dot system that gives his artwork 3-dementional effect. He established himself as a competent and reputable artist. He also donated time and his art to community groups including the Queensland Museum, state primary and high schools.
Troy was placed second in the Moreton Bay Dreaming sector of the professional category of the annual Robin O’Chin Arts Awards for 2001.
He believes as indigenous artists, they should all have the right to express their culture and beliefs through various art forms, be it painting, music or dance.
He also says, “I have chosen to express myself, my culture and my beliefs through the images of society and through ancient tradition passed on to me by my elders, family and friends”.Achievements and Exhibitons
