Biography:
I was born at Sherlock Station most of my life I worked in the Kimberly near Fitzroy Crossing I started painting in 2006 and I like to paint landscape of my country and dreaming of my culture .I would like to sit and think about what the old people talk about it helps me to get ideas from the stories they would tell me to paint about. It makes me feel good inside and and I feel very proud
Midnight sky This painting reminds me of when we go camping out bush we always camp out in the flat where we can see the stars shining.
Honey Ants Honey ants are shown here collecting food before winter. Bunjima people call the food ‘mulma nujnu’. This name comes from the leaves, and another name is ‘ngardanu’, which comes from the branches.
