Samantha Hobson of the Kuuku Yau language group of Lockhart River in the Cape York region of Queensland was born in 1981. A member of the Lockhart River Art Gang, Hobson is a painter who has exhibited in a number of exhibitions including “Story Place” in 2003 at the Queensland Art Gallery and “Gatherings, Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art from Queensland, Australia” in 2001 in Brisbane. In the 'Gatherings’ catalogue her artist statement reads, “I paint stories my grandmother tells me from the old days … paintings about traditional culture …. I paint the things that happen in the community … I paint about people in the community … what happens to them … what they do and what really hurts them… that makes me hurt inside too … that painting makes the bad feeling go away.” Hobson has works held in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Victoria and the Cairns Regional Art Gallery.
