About the Artwork

My Mother taught me to paint. She likes to paint her Mother's and Father's country from the old days, when they used to live off of the land. My paintings are inspired by my Mother's stories of the old days, walking and living on our land. The landscape changes during the different seasons. I paint the dried flowers and bushes as well as the new plants that come after the rain. These plants have special meanings and uses for us. I have been taught how to read the country, and now I teach my children these skills.
