Sevania was born in Soakage Bore, Utopia and started to paint when she was teenager. She learnt the way to paint landscape and bush medicine from her grandmother, Eileen Bonney, a former health worker and artist. Sevania finds painting soothing and enjoys to share this activity with her kids so they can learn as she did with her grandmother.
Knowing your country is an important part of living in a remote community like Ampilatwatja. Knowing when and where to go hunting and gathering, knowing where there is 'soakage' (where you can dig for water), travelling with family for ceremonies, and maintaining a connection with the land.
"This is my country, my view of country."
