Susan Reid is a young artist from the Western Desert of Australia. She paints the stories of her Great Grandmother- Ningurra Gibson who is from Ngarmi country west of Kiwirrkurra. These stories have been passed down through the generations of women in Susan’s family. These stories now live on in her paintings.

‘This painting is my mother’s dreaming. It is ‘Mangari’, up Kintore way. It is a place where my mum used to collect bushtucker, and in the dreamtime a snake went through there, through the sandhills at Mangari.’
