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. I love doing aerial landscapes of my fathers Country. I was watching Cynthia weave at Tjanpi Desert Weavers then I decided to do my own. When I'm painting or weaving I forget about everything and everyone forget about my worries, it makes me feel like me.
