Hi
My name’s Michael. I am writing to show you my paintings. I am a proud Palawa man from North East Tasmania.
The painting’s story is: we hunt the food that lives on this country as our ancestors did in the past and give thanks to the food and return what we can’t take, and the Spirit goes back to the land.
I had a blast painting these two paintings. Hope you enjoy also.
Kind regards,
Michael
