Vernon Ah Kee was born in North Queensland and has been living in Brisbane for eleven years. With a BVA in Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art, Vernon undertook a year of Honours in Fine Art before beginning a Doctorate of Visual Art in 2001.

For the past four years he has concentrated on a conceptual use of text and minimal expression. Vernon combines a combative writing style with a strong visual sense to achieve successful communication in a manner that makes effective use of the format of Visual Arts as Aboriginal expression.
