"I'm the eldest of five brothers and a sister. When I was young we used to run around a lot, playing games with friends. I liked school in the beginning, when I was younger, when I was in my teens that's when I didn't like school. I mainly enjoyed art and english but liked after school more, when I would go swimming and fishing off the jetty.

I was sixteen when I first started dancing, really I first started at school in culture class, we would also go out looking for bush tucker. I first toured to Melbourne to the Moomba festival. It was my first time in a big city, a cold city. I performed for three years with the Mornington Island Dancers. I went with my uncle to Japan as well, people there looked like ants from up in the apartment buildings.

When I was nineteen I became a mother, this happened again when I was twenty-two. My sons name is Murrawu and my daughter's name is Yalul. I want to become an artist. I think more or less if what comes out of you, comes out the way you want it to, on the canvas, then that's a good painting. I like to put my ideas on canvas. I look at my designs and how I can interpret it on canvas.

Its really good using computers, I like looking for information and learning. Everyday you can learn on the computer, I think I can make art on the computer."
