“I like painting, it's about culture, land and people. Sometimes I go out with the rangers to look after Country and sometimes it heals all of us being out on Country. The painting I do is sand dunes and claypans and I use colours that represent the desert. My mother’s mother is Nyangumarta and my father’s side is Mangala. My grandmother from Mangala side, she was born in the Desert Country. She grew me up in the old camp here in Bidyadanga.”
