Biography:
My name is Pansy Hicks. I am a Ngarluma Elder, one of the two remaining traditional owners of the Ngarluma land, the land of the Saltwater people.
I’ve been painting for a long time. I paint about Munni-Munni Hill, that’s over Cheeritha way. It’s got some carvings there too… but that’s a man’s site… I can’t say about that.
That hill looks like a zebra. That’s why we call it Munni-Munni Hill.
I also paint ‘Stepping Stones – When The World Was Soft’. That’s about when our ancestors were here, a long time ago.
I like painting, you know when you’re feeling down or got worries… then painting will help you.
