Richard Websdale is an Indigenous Wongi male who was born in Kalgoorlie. He grew up in the Goldfields watching, admiring and learning from his mother Christine Bonney-Websdale's artistic processes.

Richard follows three generations of artists and also has family roots from Roebourne/Yindjibarndi Country. Richard's work combines traditional colours and techniques with a contemporary perspective to create unique pieces. Much of Richard's inspiration and themes have emerged from the importance of family connections and finding and celebrating identity.
