Biography:
My name is Roaxanne Newberry I'm from Warakurna. I've been painting for a few years now. I was watching my sister Cynthia Burke and my mother Jorna Newberry paint I'd sometimes help them with their painting. It gave me some ideas for my painting.

When I'm painting or weaving I forget about everything and everyone forget about my worries, it makes me feel like me.
