had a great passion for the great traditional aboriginal
art. As he was inspired by the aboriginal art the
painter/teacher credited Australian aborigines by their ancient culture in ways that he could
show it off to the whole entire world. His aim was to show and spread the aboriginal art as
he found it interesting and unique. Due to this he spread the artistic work of the indigenous,
if it wasn’t for him today we would have not seen these beautiful masterpieces.
