Mirndiyan Gununa - MIART Mornington Island Art

I was born to Orielle Bush and Kenneth Roughsey at Mt Isa. I am my Mother’s youngest daughter and Dad’s eldest and I grew up on Mornington Island with my Grandparents on Birri after they pass away I grew up with Mum Dorita and Dad Frank Watt. I went to school at Mornington Island Primary School and went to boarding school at Peace Lutheran College for my High School years. My partner is Joquin Gabori we have two beautiful children and we live here on Gununa. Now that I’m working at the art center I’ve decided to paint and continue to share my culture with everyone and learn from my elder painters.
