I am a Yankunytjatjara woman from Indulkana Community on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in South Australia. I'm an artist at Iwantja Arts, where I started painting over 20 years ago.

My paintings are of Tjukurpa (ancestral stories) and ngura (country) that have cultural significance for me and my family. They are a combination of landscape — specific locations and landmarks - and representations of the sky and stars. For Anangu the stars hold Tjukurpa (Ancestral cultural stories) just like the country - the rockholes, hills and creeks — have Tjukurpa. One main one is the Kungkarangkalpa (Seven Sisters) Tjukurpa where a specific constellation represents the sisters and the cheeky man chasing after them.

I'm proud to be an artist and a leader in my community, working to keep our culture strong and passing on important knowledge to the next generations.
