Claypans, Spinifex and Wika (fire)
Product Details
This painting is about the claypans, spinifex and waru (fire) in the dry season time, when spinifex, the native plants, and the country gets dry. It's about how to burn the country the right way, not the wrong way. Like old people, they used to burn the country right way, so we learn from them and keep the country good

I was inspired by old people from the past and the present who have been painting about the country. The colours of the landscapes is something I would like to continue. I feel good doing painting, I’ve seen my paintings starting to change with each canvas that I have done.
Painting is a way of showing others what I see through my eyes. These paintings are being painted from my travels out on country with Tribal Elders. The Elders would share stories about life in the bush and they would talk about family connections.
