Catalogue text

This work is accompanied by a certificate from Alcaston Gallery which states: ‘I have always painted in my own personal space where I feel most comfortable including my back veranda, in the dry river beds, on the banks of my childhood fishing places as well at the camp sites that my families have lived and spent time for thousands of years. My country has inspired me to become an artist. It is through my art I aim to reflect and share with others in a contemporary way, my stories, culture and my country.’
