Muna ngayuku tjakura kulu ngurilpai munu kuwari ngayulu paintamilani animal Tjuta tjara ngayulu nintingku. I am painting the story about different animals, like the snake and mouse. A long time ago I used to live at Watarru and I used to work with land management, I was looking after my place and I used to look for tjakura (desert gecko) and now I’m painting about the animals I know.
