Artist name printed in the lower right corner. Wanjidari means white flower. I was born in 1965. My mother came from central Queensland at a place called Woorabinda and came from the tribe Wadja Wadja. My father came from Lockhart River from the Kuntha Napu tribe. I have been painting since I was 17 and the inspiration for my paintings came from both sides and from my childhood. When I was growing up I would often go out with my aunts and other family members to collect bush tucker the traditional way. We would look for turtle eggs, goanna, fruit, yams, etc. So I grew up with my culture. I now have 8 children of my own and my eldest son also shows tallent in painting. Many years ago I did a TAFE course so that I could learn to use different mediums and to help develop my style.
