The exhibition represents her first days at univerity, drawings, photos of past artworks, paintings and present practices.
Johanna, a mother of six, was adopted and came to Lightning Ridge to meet her natural mother and then came to live here in 2000.
Johanna, a descendant of the Murriwarri tribe, creates artworks which reflect Murriwarri living past and present.
