I began making art later in life. When I was a beginner I was inspired by the other ladies at Marnin Studio and they were very encouraging. They taught me that I could be creative too.

Now, I really enjoy my time in the studio and specialise in painting boab nuts, canvases and creating beautiful bush dyed scarves. I am inspired by the colours of this earth through the wet and dry seasons in the Kimberly.

It's a great way to relax and meet with other women. It also feels very purposeful to be sharing our stories and inspiring other women to be creative too.
