Profile
“I was born in Perth but grew up in Mullan and went to school there before returning to Perth for boarding high school. My mother, Ivy Robertson, was an artist at the art centre in Balgo. After school I went west of Alice Springs to spend time with my Dad and his family at Kiwirrkurra community.
“I watched the old people paint there. I was a good drawer at school and always work on improving my skills. I can do both styles, desert style and realism style.”
“This is good camping and resting place … Groups of families always set up camp here. There are a lot of bush turkeys and echidna. There is also a soak to drink water from and water holes in the hills. Aboriginal people during the Dreamtime set up camp here. My grandfather told me this story.”
