Biography:
I started painting and drawing when I was young. My mum and dad bought me water colour paints to practice with. In 2006 I started art classes at Jigalong TAFE. I learnt to paint on canvas and completed my first mural on the Jigalong TAFE building. I often paint stories learned from my grandparents, about country. I like to do portraits that’s the thing I’m good at. It’s the thing I like to do. I like painting my self-portrait or painting friends and family if they give me permission.
