Story: I was born in Quirindi, New South Wales and attended school there until I was 15 years old. I Grew up in Gunnedah, Curlewis and Tamworth.
I never had much of an education until years later when I met my dearest friend Mabel Dungay, who told me about a TAFE course.
I graduated in 2006 with an Advanced Diploma in Visual Arts from the west Wollongong TAFE. My strengths are painting, I love to do landscapes, reflecting from my memories of places and land I have traveled throughout my life.
Being part of Boolarng Nangamai Studio I am able to practice my Aboriginal culture and be with my People. I am happy to be a part of this wonderful place, it is my life blood the people involved in this place are my family. I would never have discovered my own country, I have been given an opportunity through Boolarng Nangamai to travel and meet new mobs from all around Australia.I love to meet new people, have a yarn, offer them a cuppa and show them around and tell them what we are up to.
