“Our art room is family coming together, our door is always open, you are always welcome. ”
“There is always a big mob of thepa thepa (birds) here at the Yarrenyty Arltere Art Centre and at our homes. We are always feeding them, to bring them so we can look at how beautiful they are and to hear their song.
We love them with their pretty colours same as our sewing with all the bright wool stitching and we love their sweet bird song.
So, we are making this exhibition full of birds just like here in the desert in our beautiful home for you to see and understand where some of the ideas come from.”
