An established Indigenous Australian illustrator and artist based in Brisbane.

Tori-Jay Mordey is an established Indigenous Australian illustrator and artist based in Brisbane. Her cultural background is shared with both Torres Strait Islander and English heritage. Within her contemporary Indigenous art practice Tori-Jay often reflected her artwork around her family and siblings as a way of understanding herself, her appearance and racial identity. Tori-Jay also produces a lot illustrative work that conceptually explore deeper human emotions – these illustrations are often drawn as longingly expressive, exaggerated cartoon characters.
