Pilbara Creeks
During the rainy season many creeks are hidden among the rocky hills of the Pilbara country. The locals from this area like fishing on the banks of the creeks, catching many different varieties of fish.

Sea Turtle
When we see sea turtles it can mean that they can be mating and that makes us aware that they will soon be going to lay eggs. Some of our people eat the eggs and turtles.

Pilbara Wildflowers
I paint my country in my own style. We have so many beautiful flowers that are watered by the rains. The Pilbara is a place of many beautiful colours.

Jammi on the Riverbank
This artwork has the riverbank of Millstream. It’s a tropical oasis where we like to go swimming there, fishing and spending time with family. Along the Riverbank I’ve painted the bush flower medicine called Jammi. It’s used for sores and cuts and scratches. You boil the Jammi leaves up and then bath yourself in the water. You can also use it for air freshener; it smells like eucalyptus. It can open your airways.

Pilbara Region
This is a painting of the Claypan Wattle when it is ripe, but it’s poisonous. This shrub starts off as a light green colour and then, as it matures, it gets darker. The flowers are a yellowy orange and also get darker with a bit of black as they are fading away.
