I paint the country that I come from, the beautiful landscapes and the many colours as they change during the seasons.

Grandson of Vincent Lingiari Art Award Winner Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney, son of artist Sevania Kemarre Bonney, and older brother to young twin artists Latoya and Dakota Ngwarraye Petrick, Jerome has developed his own style within this talented family. Jerome is also inspired by the work of his grandfather and uncle Alec Pula Lewis and Gunderson Kemarre Lewis with whom he paints with in their studio amongst the gum trees. Jerome's work has an immediate and energetic presence and although new to painting his observational skills are those of a more mature artist.
