The artist is following in the tradition of her mother by painting flowers and plants as a constant renewal of life. The Bloodwood Tree has red gum that is used to treat skin sores. The gum, mixed with water is used as a treatment for cancer and other sickness. It can be used as a colour for painting and heated, and mixed with ash, to make a glue to bind up baby cradles, stone bush axes and other items.
