Tjaruwa has painted her homeland, country located in the north of the Spinifex claim area. The Tjukurpa depicted here is of the Pulaly-pulalypa (Port Lincoln parrot) family, a father, mother and children who are travelling from Pipalyatjara. The children are excited as they have seen kuniya (edible python) moving around in the grass. There isn’t a rock hole here but water places are close by.

Tjaruwa is a highly knowledgeable bush woman who left her nomadic life in 1986 when her family was brought into the community by relatives. Tjaruwa still retains a deep knowledge of her country as well as many other areas in Spinifex country. She is a keen tracker of animals, is knowledgeable about traditional bush foods and she once saved a group of people broken down in the desert with her knowledge of hidden water holes.
