Seeds and Waterways (Dawn)
I am inspired by the colours in the rocks, the seeds on the ground, and the way water moves through the land. When I paint, I think about the flow of a waterway. Water is always moving, and I follow that movement in my lines and shapes. The forms in my work come from that flow, and my colours come from what I see in Country. I use strong, vivid colours because that is how I see Country in my mind and how i feel when i paint. There is a lot of new life when you find water on Country. It is where you find the beautiful colours and the flowers. When i paint I feel connected to culture, the old people and memories.

Spiritual Serpents
When us Yindjibarndi people could no longer stay at our own Country we moved to Ngarluma Country then something was getting wild over us. The seaside Serpent. So we called on our fresh water snake. They fought a big battle in the sky until the Sea Snake was pushed back out to sea and we were allowed to stay here.

Land and our country also tells a wonderful story about our ancestor’s they walk and lived on the land always gathering food such as fish from the river, hunting kangaroo’s, emu and tracking goanna’s also gathering bush fruits and medicine.
