dot painting Native Wreathe Emu Bush

Native Wreathe Emu Bush is one of my favourite pieces I’ve ever created. This Aboriginal dot painting honours the traditional wreathes worn by women—delicate native flora gathered and woven to adorn their headpieces during ceremony and celebration. The soft blush and white tones evoke grace, femininity, and cultural pride, while the intricate dot work reflects the care and artistry passed down through generations. Painted with quality acrylics on stretched canvas and ready to hang, this piece is a tribute to beauty, identity, and the enduring spirit of Aboriginal women. the piece, which honors "the traditional wreathes worn by Aboriginal women—delicate native flora gathered and woven to adorn the hair and headpieces during ceremony and celebration"

since 1993 I have painted professionally and loved every minute of it. My biggest influence in both art and life is my Dad. He was a successful artist,storyteller, community elder and traditional man. Though sadly he has passed now I hold strong my ties to my tribes and respect and protect our stories. Most of my art recounts my family stories passed on by Dad,mum,nan & great grandparents. I come from the Gidabul/Ngarkabul/Widjabul on mums side & Wonnarua/ Dhunghutti on my Dads.

I also share my passion for art by facilitating workshops for children teaching them all about my wonderful culture and art. I am very fortunate to work with and mentor vulnerable women both indigenous and non-indigenous through art, listening and sharing. I hold yarning circles with the indigenous women at a womens rehabilitation centre. we are able to hold such a sacred space really creates a safe space for healing.
