Biography

I am a member of the Lockhart River Art Gang. This is a group of young Aboriginal Artists from the east coast of Cape York. Fine art printing and painting are my preferred mediums. My works are about my country and animals and is a contemporary response to the traditional culture and isolation of my Community. I have painted many works on canvas and paper. I play football, go hunting and fishing. I live at Lockhart River Aboriginal Community
