Biography:

I was inspired by old people from the past and the present who have been painting about country. The colours of the landscapes is something I would like to continue.

I feel good doing painting, I’ve seen my paintings starting to change each canvas that I have done.

Painting is a way of showing others what I see through my eyes. These paintings are being painted from my travels out on country with Tribal Elders. The Elders would share stories about life in the bush and they would talk about family connections.
