Our logo
Our logo was inspired by the artwork Kangaroo Travelling by Deborah Coertse (also known as Deborah Newenham). Deborah was born in Fremantle Western Australia to an Aboriginal mother and Dutch father. She began painting in 1994 and has since sold numerous pieces of original artwork. Deborah now runs Yirra-Kurl, her own successful business where she designs, manufactures and wholesales her artwork to the tourist market. Deborah's paintings depict her interpretation of life and all things living. Her bright and colorful designs have become a distinctive feature of Yirra-Kurl products.
