Coral Hayes’ totem is the long neck turtle from the Yorta Yorta/Mutti Mutti people which she is proud to belong to. Coral’s father was born in Alice Springs NT. She has a book showcasing her work entitled Mutti Mutti Dreaming by Ian Hewitt, the perfect accessory to the work featured.  Coral is very true to her culture and takes the time to paint stories that have been handed down to her from her mob.
