Biography:

I was born in Parrngurr, Cotton Creek, in the old clinic there. I grew up there and then I moved to Punmu for a long time. I still live there in Punmu, but sometimes I come to all the communities.


My grandmother taught me to paint, Muni Rita Simpson. Then I tried my best to keep on painting. I paint about the Punmu waterholes like Wilarra, Rawa, Tiwa, Juntu - Juntu.


Sometimes I do work here at Martumili, stretch canvas, fill the colours, and sometimes help the oldies.
