Beth Nungarrayi Patrick Barnes

Beth was an older lady from the Warnayaka sub tribe of Warlpiri.  Their lands are in the north eastern part of the Tanami Desert.  Nungarrayi has lived in Lajamanu and raised her children and grandchildren here.  When she was a little younger she spent many hours at the art centre painting. The cares and responsibilities of grandchildren over took her life.
