Artwork Description

moities which means a Lore (custom, rite) regarding the tribes to marry.
so this painting is my great Grandmothers marriage following the moity Githabul & Ngarakabul

she being a Ngarkabul woman and Him a Githabul man. The woman would leave her tribe & go to her husbands tribe. Birth her children and teach them her language (which was her fathers tongue) and her mothers language and they would learn the of their father where they lived. This kept language, moites,traditions, bloodlines strong.

Artist Bio

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.
