Each dot a mediation on the Great Sandy Desert Country her grandfather and family migrated from, when they moved to the Kimberley region in the ‘60s. Jilas (waterholes) and Jilji (sandhill) country. Desert Flowers shows a new style by Francine which she has been developing to depict the flora of the Great Sandy Desert.
