This painting of Kumurbina, black cockatoo reminds me of camping at my mothers Bubu in Shipton Flat/Helenvale and watching them fly past and hearing their beautiful call. They always fly past in a group, never alone.
I love taking family to our bubu, my country, fishing and hunting for food and having a fire with damper.
This painting reflects the patterns, animals and stories from my culture.

Birmba, the white cockatoo is a cheeky bird. Stealing fruit all the time.
In our culture some birds are messengers. In our lore Birmba brings us news.

I am a Jalanji saltwater woman. Jalanji people have lots of stories about the reef. My painting’s story is about Mili (stinging jellyfish) stirring out on the reef.
We were taught at a young age to watch out because these mili sting and can be very dangerous. There are special plants that we can use on mili stings. Our elders passed on this knowledge to us.
