Having lived in the Northern Territory for 26 years before moving to Newcastle in NSW, Thomas has been influenced strongly by the artists and the seasons of the Northern Territory.

If I was not drawing, she was painting or doing other artforms such as macrame and pottery. “Art has always been a creative escape.With my artwork as an adult, I am fully influenced by my cultural teachings and nature. “
