Kwanty Penh (After the Rain)

We paint the bush medicine, bush tucker and bush flowers that are most personal and meaningful to us. 

While we work we have big talks about community matters, old time stories and bush tucker stories, how the blackberries would be out soon and how delicious they are kwanty penh (after the rain).

We go out bush after rain to hunt, the flowers all bloom, all the big berries are everywhere and the bush medicine grows all green.The colours are everywhere, it shows us that summer is coming, this time of year makes everyone very happy

The predominant theme in my paintings is 'strong bush medicine', I have a deep connection to my country Irrultja . My work pays respect to the significance and use of traditional bush medicine which is still used daily. I paint the flowers to keep the knowledge alive.
