At the age of 10, she returned to the Central Australian Aboriginal Community of Hermannsburg, with her sister, and brother, to live with their mother and step-father.

Kathleen’s fine Central Desert Dot Painting style celebrates her discovery and connection to her indigenous heritage. Happy childhood memories of her son’s growing up on the land are shared through aboriginal story telling on canvas, and feature native bush creatures.

The tranquil studio is located approximately 18km West of Alice Springs in the beautiful scenic West MacDonnell Ranges. Home to the Arrernte People, this is Keith’s Traditional Maternal Land.

Unique and innovative.

I would have liked to have seen it on a persons neck before I made the decision to purchase. I like where it sits on my neck, just perfect. I actually didn’t realise it had the white piece underneath in the same shape. I thought that was a shadow in the photo. I was a little disappointed that the fabulous pattern was just a print. I think the round box it came in is very unique and innovative. The colours in the design will go with all the tops I wear. Over all pleased with my purchase.
