I first started painting at home many years ago and then painted with Marra Worra Worra arts workshop. I painted canvas and boomerangs and they were sold in Queensland. In 2007 I started selling boab nuts, paintings, tortoise shell and swordfish comb through Mangkaja Arts.
In 2012 I started working at Marnin Studio painting boab nuts and weaving baskets. I like painting because it makes me busy and it takes my mind off other things. The studio is comfortable and we can enjoy painting. I feel relaxed when I'm painting at the studio with all my friends. I feel good when I get paid for painting boab nuts. It's the right way, sharing and caring with everybody.
