Description
All of Lena’s stories come from her father’s country, Lyentye. Lena has only ever been known to paint the story for Soakage Dreaming and bush foods, but she also owns the story for the Bush Plum along with her sister Rosie Pwerle.
In this painting Lena is painting the story of the soakage dreaming. Soakage is the traditional source of water, which is and was extremely important during drought season. Lena uses brilliant, vibrant colours to depict the story of soakage.
