3. When did you last see a primary health professional?
Two weeks ago.
4. What do you do to improve your mental health?
I sing in my car, I dance, and I paint.
I am a contemporary Indigenous artist from the Kamilaroi Mob and a Sutherland Shire local. I am a recognised local Aboriginal Artist within the Sutherland Shire and am a board member of the Kurranulla Aboriginal Corporation and have gained a great deal of knowledge listening to our Elders.
All my life I have lived along the Georges and Woronora rivers on Dharawal Country and have been an active member of the Aboriginal community since I was a child. I have gained my experience working with elders learning about Aboriginal art for many years and love to share my artistic stories.
