I was a member of the Lockhart River Art Gang when they worked mainly at the School. This is a group of young Aboriginal Artists from the east coast of Cape York.
I have done a bit of work with Batik and lino-printing. Like working with cross hatching techniques. I worked with pottery and done a bit of practice printing shirts at the school.

I did art work for Great Barrier Reef Management Association Project. My paintings were used for pamphlets and postcard invitations for the message stick exhibition. I liked making stretchers for canvas’s.

In my spare time I like to go fishing. When its high tide I like to go spear fishing for stingrays and the many species of fish I come across, and diving amongst the rocks off shore. Usually I like to make spear and find the elders and have a yarn with them about bush tucker and all that.

I like to go pack walking in the bush for the army and walk down the beach.
