Rebecca began painting in April 2007. Residing in Utopia with her extended family, she was influenced by many of them, including her grandmother, the renowned artist Polly Ngale.
Rebecca's paintings are characterised by vibrant colors and meticulous dot work that vividly represent her story and Country.
Rebecca's painting represents the flower of the Tharrkarr (Honey Grevillea), an important plant in Rebecca's country because of the sweet honey found in its flowers. The honey is usually sucked straight from the flower, or the flowers can be steeped in water to make a sweet drink.
