Associated with the Waringarri Aboriginal Arts centre on the Ord River in northernmost Western Australia, Daisy Bitting (c.1950-2008) made paintings and prints imbued with the memory of journeys walking across country between one cattle station and another to visit family. Along the way there were waterholes for catching fish, good camping grounds and Dreaming places. Her work represents these memories and the stories and the knowledge she gained from her father and mother.
