Her work
Anna began painting in the early 1980s with the Yam Seed Dreaming, drawing on the songs and stories of her plant totem, the bush yam. She paints to the rhythm of ceremonial song.
Her style has changed several times over the years. Her best-known recent works are extremely finely dotted paintings of her Country and its ceremonial sites around Boundary Bore.
