About me
I am a proud Aboriginal woman from the Awabakal, Murawarri, Wiradjuri and Barunggam tribes. I am 20 years old from Toowoomba QLD. I have had my art business up and running since March of 2022 and my website since September of 2022. I have had the privilege of pursuing my art journey full time and it has been the best decision I have made. In July of 2022 I was awarded with Artist of the Year for the Toowoomba NAIDOC Awards.
Vision
My vision is to inspire the next generation to continue to explore and learn about our beautiful culture.
Mission
My mission is to work with and display my artwork to the whole of Australia in order to inspire the next generation.
Work Experience
Mural: Wilsonton State High School (Photo 1).
Mural: Wilsonton State School (Photo 2).
Yarning Circle: Highfields State Secondary College (Photo 3).
Over the 19 months of having my business up and running full time I have been able to achieve so much. I have been involved in murals assisting my cousin David. (Photo 1 & 2)
I was then contacted by Highfield State Secondary College to go in and paint a yearning circle. (Photo 3) This was very exciting as this was my first solo project. This yarning circle created a space for connection with others and culture.

Workshops which provide skills to be shared and passed on through many generations. Cultural Workshops are provided to the groups on an individual basis, which means that the workshops are personalized as requested.

My experience in digital art is constantly growing every day.Each of my designs convey a very special and personalised meaning to my client. I was honoured to have my artwork displayed on the Darling Downs Panthers netball bibs who play in the netball Ruby series. I was so grateful for this opportunity as my love for netball and Aboriginal art connected.
