Roberts paintings represent his connection with his country Wilkinkarra. He paints creation stories including Kangaroo dreaming and mapping of the desert where he grew up. You can see Spinifex, dunes, soakages and the desert coming to life after the summer rains in his art. With his original connection and knowledge of country, and his lived experience, Robert and his paintings are a very special part of Australia’s history.
