This is my story - Ngayin-ga Birrmarriyan-nga Berrembi jarragbe ngaginybe. 

My mother shows me how to get bushtucker and she shows me how to paint. Now I'm a famous artist.  My paintings are all over the world hanging in important places. Happy times. 

Told in English and Gija, this is the story of Shirley Purdie, famous Gija artist, as told through her paintings, as part of the Ngaalim-Ngalimboorro Ngagenybe exhibition created for the 2018 National Portrait Gallery exhibition So Fine: Contemporary women artists make Australian history.
