Lee Anne Hall is the daughter of the Aboriginal activist and artist, Harry Phillip Hall and the indigenous artist Pam Brandy Hall. She is the great granddaughter of Aboriginal activist, the late Jack Patten. Her paternal grandfather Harry Hall Snr was civil activist who was instrumental in the freedom ride and tirelessly fought for aboriginal equality in rural townships. Lee Anne’s grandfather and father were the first indigenous father and son elected to federal government. Lee Anne is inspired by dreamtime stories passed on to her from her parents.
