Biography:

I was born on Thursday Island but I grew up in Moa Island, Kubin Village. As a child I've learnt certain things in life, traditional work with art. I live on Kubin with my mother and two siblings. I would like to base my painting and drawings on the environment surroundings location of my area which is the landscape of the sea and cultural heritage. I haven't been to any previous exhibitions or art awards but it would be amazing if I attended one in the next upcoming years.
