Ronnie Tjampitjinpa
Ronnie was born around 1943 near Muyinnga, about 100 kilometers west of the Kintore Ranges in the Northern Territory. His family moved extensively throughout Pintupi Country living the traditional ways his people have lived for over 40,000 years. His work has a simplicity that makes it appealing yet mysterious as the uninitiated try to understand what it is he paints. By painting Dreamtime he is helping to resurrect Aboriginal culture as a whole and allow outsiders to learn about one of the oldest traditions in the world.
