Wingarntjirri comes to life under the skilled brush of Sally Tjimpuna Butler. Infused with vibrant energy, Sally’s art is a testament to her masterful use of colour and form. Her command of a rich palette mirrors the joy and brightness that characterise her personality, creating harmonious and visually striking compositions. Drawing inspiration from her mother’s stories and her deep knowledge of the significant sites in her home country within the western desert, Sally’s emergent style beautifully captures the essence of her cultural heritage.

“This is my borning place – Wingarntjirri. It is west of Tjukurla community. These are the Tali and Kapi, the sanddunes and rockholes, of that place. I was born in the bush. My mother, Katjarra Butler, was walking around from place to place with me geƫng ready. She had me at Wingarntjirri”.
