‘For me I started painting as a personal journey. I picked up a few skewers [used for dot painting] and it helped me get through my bad days.’

‘I was born in Port Hedland. We was raised in Perth and we come back here in my early teens. [I’m the] mother of four beautiful children, [and the] sister to 14 siblings. For me I started painting as a personal journey. I picked up a few skewers [used for dot painting] and it helped me get through my bad days. I just paint in dots. I dabble in dots as I like to say. Sometimes I paint animals. Sometimes I paint the country.’
