“I am an Aboriginal artist. My paintings try to explain many of the stories that I have been working on and thinking about over the last few years. All my stories are about living in different parts of Queensland, working, travelling, painting, playing cards in old mission communities like Cherbourg, Palm Island, Mornington Island, Yarrabah, and Doomadgee. My family stories are all about the area near the Carnarvon Ranges in Western Queensland, out near the Dawson River, Jiman Jiman my father's country. Many of the figures and images relate to stories I have been told about this area. I paint old stories as well as what happened recently. There is always the presence of the Creator Spirit in my work, but I also paint about how the white men came and dealt with our people. We can never get away from this.”
