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.

Snake (male and female) Icon
The Snake Dreaming is the most Sacred Dreaming. It is the Story of the two Creators, who in the Dreamtime made the mountains, rivers, wind, air and everything. However they too were subjected to the same law that our people were. The Creators broke their own law and were punished. When Yarrapirri tried to take revenge against my people but realised he could no, he cried. The soft rain is Yarrapiri crying.

Walkabout Icon
The Footprints represent people going on walkabout. It is also how we know who is walking in our country, they are like fingerprints.
