About Me I am an emerging female artist from the Wangurri clan in East Arnhem Land Northern Territory. My mother’s heritage is french Polynesian from Tahiti and my father’s side is Yolngu, I am very grateful to have a large supportive family around from both sides. I have recently started painting to to deepen my cultural connection and share my learnings with others. Through my artwork each painting tells a story inspired by knowledge passed down from my elders, Dream time stories I have been told growing up, and beautiful landscapes of East Arnhem Land. The process of creating a piece of art feels therapeutic and makes me feel deeply connected with the land and family past and present. I enjoy incorporating bright colours, traditional symbols, dots, circles and acrylic pour methods to symbolise parts of the land and flowing water ways. In the near future I plan to launch a website, produce artwork on different surfaces, such as; timber and apparel so that I can offer diverse products to a wider audience. Ultimately, I would like to facilitate art workshops to share experiences and grow my knowledge base.
