Mary’s art details the rock formations and trees along the Berkley River as part of her ongoing connection to her husband and his Country. Having lived and walked the river length with her husband and their children, Mary is acutely familiar with the geography and geology of place. Her swirling circle formation show the eddys of small rock pools and the rock markers along the river banks. Here she played as a girl amongst the ‘aru’- rocks and stones, fishing, swimming and telling stories. Occasional trees, palms and bush flowers add to her compositions of stones and rockholes signifiying a particular memory and place of importance.
