Moonda Gurrah - No Snake

Duane Doyle is an artist from the Jiman mob in Carnarvon Gorge Country, where many rivers come together as one water, Gummoo Woongarra. His totem is the scrub turkey, Googoobing.  
 
Guided by Dadirri - a practice of deep listening - Duane weaves this way of being into his work as both a painter and cultural educator. A proud member of the West End Community House Art Gang, Duane's public work can be found in People’s Park on Boundary Street and along Riverside Drive, West End. 
 
For Duane, art is a bridge to healing, offering connection to family, culture, Country, and community.

This is the story of our waterflow from back in Central Queensland. The story has become known as the rainbow serpent dreaming in more recent times. This painting honours the ancient people and depicts the young ones hunting, gathering, and eating, while maintaining respect for the water source.
