We used to go everywhere place to place when we were kids, we used to follow our parents. A few years ago I moved to Alice Springs to Amoonguna Community to be with my sister and I started painting at Irrkerlantye Arts.

Cathy
Turner
I used to see my aunties doing paintings and I used to help them
a little bit. I started doing my own paintings in 1998. I painted
for Mbantua Store. I used to get their canvas and sell the paintings
back to them. Then I came to Irrkerlantye Arts.

Roseanne
Ellis
My fathers country is Vaughan Springs. In Walpirri we call it
Pikilyi, that's my Grandmother's country and my father's country.
My father's father's country is Wapitali, that's Mt Singleton
That's why I like doing dot painting because my father is a well-known
artist, Michael Nelson Jakamarra. He paints his country on canvas
and tells me which story to paint on canvas.

Gloria
Doolan
That's when I first started dot painting. I remember when I first
saw a dot painting I couldn't understand the meaning of the design
but just saw a pretty painting. I started to learn what its meanings
were when my cousin sister started telling us the stories as she
was doing the paintings. This is how we find our true selves and
of who we are. Now I am really glad I've learnt to look and listen.

Margaret
Turner
I used to see a lot of painting done with my fathers and brothers,
that's where I learnt. Paintings I can do is about hunting and
teaching young girls about firestick and ochres. The painting
I learnt I kept it in my head and I sketch those designs for my
children to paint.

Therese
Ryder
My paintings are east of Alice Springs. Around Ross River is my
father's country. Aboriginal people must paint their country and
their stories. This is my contribution to these places and my
family the Arrernte people.
