“I am originally from Barrow Creek and I’m married to Ricky Holmes a traditional owner of Ampilatwatja. I began painting at the Artists of Ampilatwatja in 2010. When I was younger I would often stay with an Aunty in Alice Springs who was a well-established artist there and as a teenager I would help her to paint her paintings. I also have a couple of Aunties in Utopia who were part of the Utopia Batik movement and I would watch them do batik as a child. I draw a lot of inspiration from my homeland and my childhood memories of Barrow Creek and the country surrounding there.
My paintings are often reminiscing of hunting and camping trips, climbing the hills to get brilliant views and walking my land
with my family. I like to paint my homeland, at Barrow Creek, because it as a way of connecting to and remembering my home.”
