Bernadine learnt to paint
from a young age and her skill is evident. Bernadine depicts the Pencil Yam in this piece, using coloured strokes for the yams and
white dots for their tiny seeds. Both bush medicine, a healing source, and
pencil yams, a nutritious tucker, hold great cultural relevance for Indigenous
peoples. Bernadine prefers to paint in vibrant, contemporary colour fields, and her artworks
are well sought after.
