aboriginal dot painting Githabul Dreaming

Githabul Dreaming represents my connection to Githabul Country and the stories carried through Country, songline and generations.

The artwork depicts the three sacred Brother Mountains — Mount Barney, traditionally known as Barnham, meaning “brother”; Mount Lindesay, known as Jungalbunj; and Mount Warning, known as Woolumbin. The mountains are connected through songline, a traditional way of carrying stories, knowledge and cultural connection across Country.

The flowing river represents the waterways that connect the mountains and Country, with waterholes along the journey representing places used by Githabul people. The artwork also reflects the sacred sites and cultural connections held within the landscape.

since 1993 I have painted professionally and loved every minute of it. My biggest influence in both art and life is my Dad. He was a successful artist,storyteller, community elder and traditional man. Though sadly he has passed now I hold strong my ties to my tribes and respect and protect our stories. Most of my art recounts my family stories passed on by Dad,mum,nan & great grandparents. I come from the Gidabul/Ngarkabul/Widjabul on mums side & Wonnarua/ Dhunghutti on my Dads.

I also share my passion for art by facilitating workshops for children teaching them all about my wonderful culture and art. I am very fortunate to work with and mentor vulnerable women both indigenous and non-indigenous through art, listening and sharing. I hold yarning circles with the indigenous women at a womens rehabilitation centre. we are able to hold such a sacred space really creates a safe space for healing.
