Ricky is a Yorta Yorta artist. His paintings often depict the land and freshwater animals. Ricky first began painting in 2009 and uses rich colours, inspired by his mood.

‘My art helps me to express my emotions, feelings, frustrations, anger and joy. It also contributes to my mental health and wellbeing. I want people to connect to my paintings and get the “wow-factor”; I want them to share my passion for the Dreamtime’.
