Acrylic on linen

The community of Ampilatwatja made a conscious decision not to paint ‘altyerr’ dreaming stories. The artists paint their country where those stories sit.

I was born in Ali Curung, and now I live at Honeymoon Bore near Ampilatwatja. I learnt painting from watching my grandmother and aunties who also painted. As well as painting I did batiks with my family. I now make mats and necklaces out of coloured seeds collected out bush. My paintings are mainly of bush medicine, bush tobacco and landscapes.
