Colleen is an intricate and meticulous painter, using the traditional dotting technique of the Central & Western desert, combined with fine linework, to depict the Irrernte-arenye (Dreamtime Sisters) floating above the sacred sites, protecting them and the people who visit and care for them.
She says, "The Dreamtime Sisters are dancing and floating above the sacred sites. They were the first people in the Dreamtime. They created sacred sites and it is the role of these ancestral spirits to protect sacred sites, country, individuals and to guide families."
