Tide Going Out
When the tide goes out it drags back the water and leaves behind patterns in the sand. This painting represents the water and the sand. I like to paint my country from a bird’s eye view, looking down. I love the different textures and shapes of the landscape. They inspire my artworks.

Spinifex Country
Our country is covered with spinifex. In the old days, our elders would grind the spinifex seeds to make flour to make into damper. The resin from the spinifex can be used to make glue. The kangaroos also find shelter among the spinifex bushes, to hide themselves from hunters.
