• Notes:
  Tjulkiwa was born in 1951 at Watarru, in South Australia. Her mother is the late Kuntjiriya Mick, a celebrated artist of her time. Her fatherís country is Kuntjanu, near Watarru, and her mother is from Walytjatjara in the Northern Territory. Tjulkiwa went to school in Pukatja (Ernabella) during the mission times. After finishing her schooling, she met her husband in Pukatja and they had two children. She also spent me in Fregon and Itjinpiri homeland, near Umuwa. That was her husbandís ngura (place of birth). She and her husband had six children. She is now widowed and lives in Pipalyatjara with some of her family. Tjulkiwa is an astute and respected member of the Pipalyatjara community. She is fluent in English and Pitjantjatjara, which serves as a handy tool for translating in the art centre, where she is also chairperson. She has always worked in arts and crafts, first at Pukatja, then Fregon, and now at Ninuku Arts, where she paints daily. The time Tjulkiwa spent in Pukatja is evident in her work-she is a natural colourist and her work is reminiscent of the beautiful decorative style for which Pukatja (Ernabella) is renowned. She paints the story of her grandfatherís country, known as Arulya. Short Street, Gallery, Broome
