Roxanne Petrick was born in Alice Springs. Her father’s country is north east of Harts Range at Irrelirre outstation. That is also where Roxanne spent most of her time while growing up. In her father’s country, there are lots of hills and animals, including kangaroo, porcupine, goanna, perentie and emu. All these food meant it was good country for hunting.
Roxanne travelled everyday on the bus from Irrelirre to the school at Harts Range. She came to Alice Springs for a sports weekend once and met her husband. Now they live together at Larapinta Valley Town Camp where her husband’s family are based.
Roxanne started coming to the art room in 2015 when her husband started work at the Yarrenyty Arltere Learning Centre (YALC). She now goes to the art room daily to sew. She loves the bright colours of the wool and cottons, which they give her lots of ideas.
