After moving his family from Ernabella to Amata he became well known as a Ngankari (traditional healer) and for his wood carvings or “punu”.
In this painting, Megan paints her Grandfather’s Tjukurra (or Dreaming) of Wanampi (giant mythical water serpent) associated with the Piltati Rockhole of her Grandfather’s birth Country.
