Artist Statement: “For many years I had the yearning to connect with family from the desert. This journey bought me to Alice Springs where I met my Central Australian Briscoe Family, and realised my calling to country and rich ancestral ties. That coming together rekindled family bonds and through art has connected me with my ancestral family, stories and homeland.
I grew up in Adelaide, and hold a passion and love for painting often fuelled through my love of colour. I get inspiration from stories of country and my indigenous families culture.
When I paint I am transported into the story and colour where it comes to life on the canvas or medium.
I having been given permission to paint certain aspects of my cultural connection and am honoured to be able to share some threads of this deep and rich Australian historical tapestry from the ‘Anmatyerre’ first nations people.”
