Biography

Daughter of Kathleen Padoon a well know painter and pioneer of the Warlayirti Arts.  Sadie paints womens stories (that are largely secret) associated with her Grandmothers country, Ngantalara and Nakarra Nakarra. Women would walk around this country and burned the land to be able to walk through clearly and too get the grases and plants to grow back stronger for all the animals and people that depended on them.  The red in the painting depicts the fire, the white the ashes and black the burnt out areas that will regenerate.
