My Country
The Pilbara is where my ancestors come from. The Yindjibarndi and Ngarluma people. There are many things that inspire me like the red hills and dirt, the many beautiful fresh water swimming holes, the rivers and creeks connected to them and the vibrant colours of the wildflowers that grow across the country side scattered amongst the spinifex and trees.

Mulla Mulla
This is the Fortescue Mulla Mulla or ‘Gumbarli’ in Yindjibarndi language. The flower is a purplish colour. It’s not a bush medicine, just a flower that grows in the country, in lines along the roads and everywhere. In this painting, the seeds of the Mulla Mulla are all blowing out. Once the leaves and petals have fallen off, the seeds are blown all through the land to bring flowers again the next year.

Colours Through The Rocks
In Yindjibarndi country there are many different shaped rock formations. It looks like a truck has tipped a huge pile of rocks. At different times of the day, especially in the evening sunset, you will see the beautiful colours changing across the face of the rocks which compliments the soft spinifex growing through the country.

Yindjibarndi Country
This is an aerial painting of the country I grew up on. I like to map out my country and record how I remember it. It is a document of how things were.

Pilbara Colours
In our land when you come to our country you will see lots of colours in the rocks. This painting is about these colours – ochres, reds and oranges, which stream across the rock face as the sun gets lower in the sky.
