Born at Titjikala, Sally has lived in Alice Springs since she married some thirty years ago.
After losing the use of her left arm in a childhood accident, Sally later faced the challenge of losing vision in one eye, which was partially restored by surgery.
Widowed and without children, Sally lives with friends and extended family. Having never painted before joining Tangentyere Artists Sally has grown in confidence to create her own rich and fluid style that celebrates her ‘place’ in the world.
Sally applies layers of vibrant colour in broad brush to depict her domestic environment - a tap dripping into a bowl for the dogs; children playing; men and women sitting in the shade.
Sally explains 'us grownups sitting one side, all'a kids playing and making noise on the other, all'a dogs - big - little - all runing round, making noise, all feeling good for home, you know?'.
