Artist’s Statement

about their country and their waterways, my paintings allow me to give an insight into our beautiful
culture while also providing me the ability to heal my spirit through my connection to my old people.

their guidance and strive to become a strong advocate for my people.Biography

painting since I was 14 years old and over that
time I have utilised my paintings to tell my
stories and heal.Influences
Alot of my influence comes from my life experiences and time spent on my Grandmothers country, I then proceed to capture those times through my art and tell the story of my journey.
