My people have survived living off the land for tens of thousands of years. Aboriginals source flowers, leaves, berries and nuts to sustain themselves. In this painting I have tried to represent some of the flora from northern Queensland where my people originated from. Ngalga-yarrubadjal (cluster fig), piriyalji (conkerberry), kirling (native gooseberry), bolwarra (native guava), djaribat (sandpaper fig) and murnong (yam daisies). During my journey in incarceration I have found cooking to be something I enjoy, and I hope to learn more about using native plants to improve my culinary skills and connect with my ancestors.

The dragonfly is in most of my paintings. It signifies change and I think of it as my personal totem.

More information

What is artwork stretching?
Your stretched and ready to hang painting will come complete with D-rings, hanging wire, and a small artwork label affixed to the back.

Why can’t I select unstretched canvas?
Some of our paintings are painted close to the edge of the canvas, and don’t have a border wide enough for standard stretching. These artworks will be ‘strip-lined’ with a quality cotton edging. As this is a boutique process, these paintings must be stretched by The Torch and are not available to be shipped as unstretched artworks.

Some paintings may also be unavailable unstretched because they have already been stretched for use in exhibitions.

How much will the artist receive?
100% of the artwork price, set before the stretching and delivery costs are added, is paid directly to the artist.
