Ailsa Piper has worked for over 35 years as a writer, director, actor, teacher, speaker and broadcaster. Piper comes from a long line of fabulists. They lived in the Gascoyne, a remote part of north Western Australia, on a 500,000 acre sheep station called Dalgety Downs. Her Scottish great-great-grandfather and his wife, Rose of Country Antrim, settled the land in 1882, bringing pioneering zeal to the red desert that was the home of the Yamaji people.

Piper was an artist in residence at Bundanon in 2014 and 2015.
