I was born in Thursday Island and grew up on Darnley Island. My name is Racy Pitt (nee Oui). My mother is from Darnley Island of Pacific Island and Torres Strait heritage and my father is from Badu Island of Torres Strait and Malaysian heritage. I grew up on Darnley Island and started making art in 2002 when I enrolled in a screen printing course. When the CDEP Art Gang formed I rejoined the art group in 2005 doing lino printing, screen printing, pottery and jewellery with Lynnette Griffiths. My art is about our culture and our mixed heritage from both Torres Strait and the Pacific Islands. I want to continue learning and keep making art.
