Dry waterhole

This painting is about the red desert sand in The Great Sandy Desert the hills and the mudflats. I love the colours of the desert.

This painting shows the Artists Grandfathers country where they used to walk around in circles searching for bush tucker and water from the waterholes. When our ancestors came out from the Canning Stock route, they used to see big mob of sand dunes and flowers.

Biography:

I was born at La Grange at the old hospital. I grew up there and have been there all my life with my parents. I started painting in 2015.


What inspired me the most is the way the old people used to tell me stories about their country and their families background. When they used to paint they used the colours to represent the land, seas, flowers, animals and other things.
