Painting is a very special expression of ones self. To indulge in a passion as spiritual as the Jukurrpa is without doubt a most rewarding one. I have experienced many things in life, but what I try to do most is give people an understanding of the Jukurrpa in a way that people can appreciate through knowledge that the Jukurrpa has to offer. Aboriginal culture is a spiritual culture. It is always important to pay your respects to the land and to honour our Ancestors and Dreaming spirits. It is just as important to pay respect to the living. That law is Caring and Sharing for all peoples!
Grandmother Teaching Children
"Grandmother teaching children"

The Grandmothers are the main teachers of the children before adolescence.
This frees the parents to carry out their ceremonial responsibilities.
