Biography

I started painting in 1990. I learned to do painting watching my father paint at Papunya. I saw the colors he was mixing and I learned from him to mix colors and how to do designs on canvas. He taught me how to do the Janganpa (possum) and kangaroo tracks and how to do a painting of a snake. That's my Grandmother's Dreaming and the Kangaroo and Bush Carrot Dreaming that's my Grandfather's. That's how I do painting! Now I'm working at Irrkerlantye Arts painting on canvas, picture frames, mirrors and bike helmets.
