Introduction
In his early childhood, he moved to New South Wales with his mother and sister. Later, he turned to art and painting, drawing inspiration from his memories of growing up with his family in the country. At the age of nineteen, Marou returned to Western Australia, to the land where he was born. He sadly passed away in 2022.
Marou described his life as a journey of creativity and self-discovery, guided by his ancestors. His reflections capture the strength, honesty, and cultural pride that shaped both the man and his art.
"...a journey of creativity and self-discovery, guided by ancestors."
