Biography:
I was born at Robinvale, but was stolen from my family at 3 months old. I grew up in Orphanages and boys homes. I was 30 years old when I found my family and discovered I had 19 siblings.
My culture means everything to me. My style of painting reflects Aboriginal and European stories. I have sold many of my works privately, and also through the Torch Project.
My painting makes me reflect, brings peace of mind, clarity and harmony.
