This is Ngarrgooroon Country. Now I am painting my brothers stories. I did these ones for the future, so the young ones can see the paintings from me and my brother. So they can take over, when I'm gone.
Betty painted this powerful homage to her brother, Hector Jandany. This significant new work continues the memory of this great Warmun elder, artist and eloquent 'two-way' teacher, who sadly passed away of old age in 2006.
