Art has always been my passion. Working at my local council since 16, they've been incredible supporters, encouraging art classes and commissioning custom pieces. Self-taught, I persistently explore new ideas in my artistic journey. My Indigenous background is Yamitji/Noonga from my grandmother, part of the Stolen Generation, and Jabirr Jabirr/Nyil Nyil Yawurru from my grandfather.
Middle School
In middle school, I painted a rice field that resonated with a buyer. He was delighted, prompting teachers and students to track me down for a photo with the artwork. Additionally, in art class, I drew a turtle that left my teacher so impressed that she created a grade on the spot and awarded me an A++.
Primary School
In grade 3, I had the chance to showcase my artwork in front of my primary school. The previous year, in grade 2, I won a drawing competition – a remarkable feat considering there were only five winners in the entire school. As a prize, I received tickets to the V8 Supercars event.
