PERSONAL HISTORY

I was born in Sydney in 1972. I grew up in Maroubra/La Perouse, this is where my family come from. My Grandfather Ella is Eora/Gadigal. My Nan Ella (nee Stewart) is from Yuin Nation, Tilba Tilba on the South Coast NSW. Family is my greatest inspiration, the deep, rich & traditional upbringing with my large unique family, the bush and the Sea. My paintings are about what I experience or what's given by my Yuin ancestors and family. Enjoy.
