desert dreaming

Desert Dreaming is a vibrant celebration of Country, spirit, and ancestral connection. Through intricate dot work and flowing patterns, this piece evokes the rhythms of desert life—waterholes, sand dunes, and sacred journeys. The warm palette of ochre, orange, and pink reflects the heat and heart of the land, while cool accents of blue and green suggest hidden springs and life-giving energy. Inspired by traditional Aboriginal Dreaming stories, this artwork invites viewers to reflect on the timeless bond between people and place.

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.
