Biography

I grew up at Santa Teresa and went to school there. We shifted back to Alice Springs and I went to Yirara College until Year 10. Then I went up to Darwin with my family and lived at Maningrida with my sisters. In 1989 I came back to Alice Springs and lived in town and on our outstation. I used to see my aunties doing paintings and I used to help them a little bit. I started doing my own paintings in 1998. I painted for Mbantua Store. I used to get their canvas and sell the paintings back to them. Then I came to Irrkerlantye Arts.
