Biography

I have been creating art for 10-15 years, on and off. During my time off I went to seek education in the arts, this is how I learnt to create art using different mediums such as acrylic pens, watercolours and oils on canvas. My inspiration comes from stories my family shared with me growing up, working on Country, and creating new memories with my children.

Acknowledgement of Country

The Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation acknowledges the value, diversity and integrity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, design, music and performance as an integral expression of Australian culture. We respect the work of Art Centres in their support of the richness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural aspirations and expressions.

We acknowledge the Larrakia people, both past and present, as the Traditional Owners of the land upon which the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair Foundation will present its key events. We appreciate the opportunity to share this Country and are committed to working together and appropriately consulting with the Larrakia people in presenting the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair.
