This is an Original Artwork: The Dry

The Dry

Hill

This is how I paint hills, and it’s how my family paints them. You’ll find these hills across most of my artworks, as they are a significant part of my Country’s landscape. The rolling forms and the stories they hold are deeply embedded in our connection to Country.

Art with Hills

Bachelor Buttons

This is how I paint Bachelor Buttons, wildflowers that grow in my Country. These flowers are one of my mother’s, sisters’, and my favourites. They are beautiful and always take us back to memories of family and Country.

River

This is how I paint Rivers, capturing the transformation of a dried-up river bed during the dry season. In contrast, my artwork The Wet depicts the same riverbeds during the wet season, flooded with fresh water and bustling with fish and wildlife. These two states of the rivers showcase the dynamic nature of my Country’s landscapes and their vital role in the ecosystem.
