All the stories that I paint are stories that have been passed down to me from generations of my mother and fathers families. These aboriginal paintings tell the stories of the rainforest dreaming. These stories that were entrusted to me, I too must pass these stories down to the next generations. This is part of our traditional way of life. Gerry Surha www. aboriginalart. org
