My painting is the story of the seven sisters. This is an old story that has been told to Anangu for thousands of years. You can see the seven sisters today at night as a group of stars in the sky.

A long time ago, the seven sisters came down from the sky and walked on the earth. They travelled north from Port Augusta, a wati (man) saw them and followed them. The seven sisters were then being chased by this wati. When the sisters would stop for a break the wati would watch them and decide which sister he liked the most. Much of this story is secret / sacred and only a small part can be revealed.
