Art has always been a big part of my life, both my parents are very creative and have passed on their love of art to me. However the artworks that I treasure most have been passed down to me by my Grandfather, a Gomeroi Elder who made didgeridoos, painted boomerangs, and carved emu eggs.
I first began creating my own artworks in 2016 as a way to feel a deep connection to my Grandfather when he became quite sick. For me, it was a way to feel close although we were physically far apart, and I drew inspiration from him and his life. Since then, I have found a real love and passion for creating all kinds of artworks, including original canvas artworks, emu eggs, murals, homewares, and accessories.
I take great pride in my work, and spend a lot of time drafting designs, choosing the perfect colours, and putting love into every paint stoke I create. My artworks are a careful collision of both traditional and contemporary art. I often use traditional symbols to share messages and stories within the artwork, but will also use bright vibrant colours to create a modern feel.
Creating art gives me purpose, it heals my soul and fills my heart with joy. The connections I have developed with people and communities through my artwork is incredible, and it has given me a stronger sense of identity to my people and my culture.
I hope to bring Aboriginal culture into the lives of many individuals, families and communities through unique pieces of artwork, including:
- Original acrylic on canvas
- Fine art prints
- Handmade jewellery
- Murals
- Creative workshops for children and adults
