Lindy Lee on how Zen Buddhism changed her life and art

As a little girl growing up in Brisbane in the era of the White Australia policy, Lindy lived through the pain of always feeling different but then she began using it as fuel for her art.

It took her many years to find the power in what she calls the 'tearing' in her identity.

She began to make work based on her own family story, and her Zen practice.

Lindy is now one of Australia's leading contemporary artists.
