Donny is a proud Worimi man and likes spending his time doing dot art. Donny completed this painting while incarcerated at Borallon Training & Correction Centre in Queensland. The paintings are of the rainbow serpent, which represents a powerful creator deity, often seen as the spirit of waterholes, responsible for shaping the land, providing life and maintaining the balance of nature.
