Jennifer Inkatji: Artist Profile
Early Life and Background
Jennifer Inkatji was born in Ernabella, a community rich in cultural heritage, and later moved to Amata Community. Her upbringing in these locations deeply influenced her connection to her Country and culture.
Artistic Practice and Cultural Heritage
Jennifer's paintings are a reflection of her Country and the traditions she holds dear. Through her art, she remembers and honours important stories that have been passed down to her by her father, mother, and grandfather. These stories evoke memories of times when families cared for the land, ensuring there was plenty of food and happiness as they travelled from place to place.
Family Connections
Jennifer's sister, Nyunmiti Burton, is a respected senior woman, APYACC director, and fellow artist. This close family connection has played a significant role in Jennifer's journey as an artist.
Relocation and Artistic Collaboration
In 2019, with the support of her sister, Jennifer relocated to Adelaide for health reasons. Since moving, she has become an active member of the APY Studio Adelaide, working daily alongside senior women and emerging talent from the APY region.
