Pilbara Land scape
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 and Sturt pea take its toll as the country comes alive with the wild flowers watered by the rain and heavy due during the night. 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.

Letting Go
This painting represents the warmth and love I have for a lady I was proud to call my mother. After losing her, I as an artist felt myself being motivated to do a series of paintings to deal with my grief and the void she has left in my heart and life itself. The earlier pieces in the series used dark colours to represent the devastation and overwhelming grief of losing my mum (Aunty). I realised this painting is me slowly moving through the grief and beginning to find light again. This is my journey as an artist, using my painting to navigate the process that we all go through in life called grief. After working on this piece I realised that the colours I have used in the background represent the warmth and love my mum had for her family and those around her. The copper represents my Mum’s love and respect for her Country and many trips she enjoyed travelling with loved ones out bush.
