‘Some of my artworks have stories in them, about what we do now or have done in the past, like gathering and hunting and fishing and all of that. Sometimes the paintings mark down different areas, different territories. I mainly do animals because I just love painting them. My paintings are a mixture of feelings and things I see.’
