Renita Stanley: Minyma Kutjara Wingellina
Minyma Kutjara Wingellina (367C-23) by Renita Stanley of Ernabella Arts.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Renita was born in Ernabella and has lived there all her life. She attended the mission school and on leaving she followed her mother, Tjariya, into the craft room.
The oldest of five children, Renita and her siblings spent much of their time growing up out at their parents’ homeland, Tjalyritja, in times when the homeland (outstation) movement was still strong. Renita has one son, Ngunytjima, who worked in the ceramics studio.
Renita’s distinctive artwork draws from traditional mark making while being her own visual interpretation of her stories. Renita is a distinguished artist whose work has been acquired by galleries across Australia and overseas.
Renita has been the Chairperson of Ernabella Arts and also the Anangu Mayatja. As well as her full-time arts career, Renita is strongly involved with the church and Ernabella Choir, in particular the singing of hymns in Pitjantjatjara at regular gatherings at Ernabella.

ABOUT THE ART CENTRE:
Established in 1948, Ernabella Arts is Australia’s oldest, continuously running Indigenous Art Centre. Ernabella Arts is in Pukatja Community, at the eastern end of the Musgrave Ranges in the far north west of South Australia. Pukatja was the first permanent settlement on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands (APY Lands).
In recent years, long after commencing working as artists, senior women decided to leave behind the walka (design) of the early days and to depict their Tjukurpa (sacred stories of country and law). Today the centre is a varied group of artists, and a mix of young and old, men and women, working in several different mediums. The members of Ernabella Arts are always reinvigorating their centre, seeing it through its evolution from the first incarnation as a craft room, into a culturally strong contemporary art centre.
Ernabella Arts is an Aboriginal owned and run corporation which promotes and supports ethical practice in the creation and sale of Indigenous art.
Due to the handmade nature of the products dimensions may vary on individual pieces.
Purchases from our shops directly support individual artists as well as our unique exhibition and training programs.
Handmade in Australia.
