Ever since I was a young girl I loved to go with my family fishing we love going to East harding and Jones creek this fishing spot is where we catch alot of samons,barramundi,brims and also mud crabs,Now that im older we take our younger kids out there and learn them the sea side life.
This is the creek near Karratha Airport I like to visit.
These are the beautiful wildflowers you see in the Pilbara landscape during September.
Vase of flowers.
This is my painting of a vase of flowers ,I love painting flowers we have many beautiful flowers in our country.
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 trcking goanna’s also gathering bush fruits and medicine.
During dry summer months our country looks so dry, but the beauty of the red earth, the spinifex and dry grass make it beautiful.
I am inspired by the colours in the rocks, the seeds on the ground, and the way water moves through the land. When I paint, I think about the flow of a waterway. 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 see Country in my mind and how i feel when i paint. There is a lot of new life when you find water on Country. It is where you find the beautiful colours and the flowers. When i paint I feel connected to culture, the old people and memories.
The colours of the rock and the purple mulla mulla flow through the painting. The wild onion seeds are the red dots.

There are many salt flats in the Pilbara.This painting depicts the water flowing underneath with the salt forming on top in ripples to show the movement of the ocean.
