LIVING in Adelaide with her partner, Alison paints Water Dreaming and Bush Onion, from her grandparents’ stories.
During her earlier life in Yuelamu, her family lived in a traditional way. She saw how her parents and others translated their stories onto canvas. She learned how to hunt and gather food, particularly bush tomato and bush onion and these are often what she paints.
This large canvas is tantamount to her skill and artistry, displaying remarkable precision and cohesion over such a large surface.
