"Dot Painting" is mainly seen as "Indigenous Australian" only...
Indigenous Elders have stated that "dots" are a universal art form and it is their sacred designs that they do not want reproduced...
I paint with dots, as Indigenous elders of the Warlpiri Tribe told me "you have to paint"... and in fact I was pretty much forced to do it in 1999... At first I found it tedious, and then, I let go, and found a deep mindfulness and meditation in the process... I do not however use Indigenous sacred designs and express with my own spirituality.
I have Warlpiri daughters and was unofficially adopted by the leader of the Warlpiri tribe in the nineties. I have a great understanding and respect of First People's culture.
My art is painted with the intention to heal people.
