Ros Moriarty, formerly a journalist with Radio Australia in
Indigenous affairs, women's issues and the environment, has spent
most of her professional life as creative and managing director of
Australia's leading Indigenous design studio, Balarinji, a business
she established with her husband in 1983. Balarinji is best known
for covering Qantas 747 aircraft in Indigenous art. During 27 years
of delivering groundbreaking projects, including the Emu Dreaming
tutu for the Australian Ballet's 40th birthday and the Hands across
the Land poster for the 2000 Sydney Harbour Bridge Walk for
Reconciliation, the company has fostered the careers of Indigenous
artists and designers from all over Australia, and has returned
royalties to NT artists since 1995. Ros also co-founded the
not-for-profit Nangala Project, which includes Indi Kindi early
literacy education, and has won many awards for business and
citizenship.
Author of a number of picture books for very young readers, the
acclaimed memoir Listening to Country, and an Indigenous
colouring-in book, Colouring Country, Ros lives with her husband,
John Moriarty, in her favourite city in the world, Sydney. They
have three adult children.
