Calming Movements in the Water
I often find looking at water is a way I can relax my mind. My mind feels free when i look at the water.

Fallen Seeds and Waterholes
I am inspired by the colours in the rocks, the seeds on the ground, and the waterholes and waterways. When I paint, I think about the plants we find near water. 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 feel when I paint my Country. There is a lot of life and energy in it. This work is about my connection to Country and the way water, land, and memory all come together.

Marni
The Pilbara is a land of many beautiful colours. Its beauty blends into the mother earth and against the red, purple hills in the distance. In time and season, the yellow wattles, mulla mulla and Sturt Pea bloom and the country comes alive with the wildflowers watered by the rain and heavy dew during the night. The land and our country also tells a wonderful story about our ancestors. They walk and lived on the land always gathering food such as fish from the river, hunting kangaroos, tracking goannas and also gathering bush fruits and medicine. ***this artwork is stretched on Belgian linen.

Wild Flowers Along the Riverbank
This painting is about the river on my Country and the wildflowers that grow along its banks. The river rises and the flowers bloom bright against the earth, showing their strength as they return each season. The patterns and lines illustrate the patterns along the waters edge. When I paint I think about being the beauty of the landscape and my family connection to Country. These freshwater places are important to us.

Pilbara Country
Pilbara is the country where we the Yindjibarndi people live and share many of our cultural stories and history that have been passed onto us by our ancestors, of how they used to walk through the flat country we call the Table Lands, visiting family members at nearby stations.
Our Country has so much to offer. Bush foods and medicine as well as animals such as kangaroo, emu, goanna and turkey. When the rains come our rivers are full and we all love to go out and spend the day fishing. We are also close to the ocean so we often go fishing there as well. During the holidays many of our families go bush to enjoy what the Country offers. The beauty of our Country we see through our eyes like the wildflowers blooming as nature takes its course. Our Country is still full of riches it always gives me joy to be a part of it. We are connected to our land. It is a part of who we are.
