KTAFA × Bluethumb — a family journey

From a Disney collaboration to the Brushstrokes of Tradition exhibition at 1 Denison, the KTAFA family's relationship with Bluethumb has grown into one of the most meaningful creative partnerships in contemporary Aboriginal art.

Each chapter reflects a deepening connection — between mother and daughters, between generations, and between culture and the wider world.

A family practice, trusted nationally

KT Aboriginal Fine Art is a family Aboriginal art business led by Kelly Taylor and her daughters. Our collaborations include commissioned artworks, corporate Reconciliation Action Plan artworks, licensing, product collaborations, uniforms, media features and community projects, all created with cultural authenticity and care.

“To share culture, tell stories and create meaningful connections through art.”
Kelly Taylor, Founder · KT Aboriginal Fine Art
