“I was born in January 1974 in Yuendumu, Northern Territory. I grew up in Kintore and stayed there with my family. I have a big family from my Grandfather’s side, big family tree. I came to Port Hedland with my family. I met Maisie Ward Nungurrayi who invited me to come painting at Spinifex with her in 2021. I first started painting in 2016. My family are painters. My paintings are of Grandfather’s country, fire and water.”
