Acrylic on canvas
“I come from Looma. My dad was Nyaparu Billy Gardiner, and my mum is Katie (Nalgood). My brother is Zenith (Gardiner), my sister is Crystal and Sheila, my other brother is Jason, and my other brother is Lenny. I came to Spinifex Hill Studio and started watching Dad doing his painting of his life. That inspired me to share my stories and my life. I’m still going on a journey through life. I like to draw all my memories on paper and canvas, as well as my experience of hunting, lore, initiation, and stuff like that, out in the Kimberley, on Country.”
