I’m a proud Ballardong Noongar Women, from a small country town in the Wheatbelt Western Australia.
The last couple of years I started losing friends and family members. I wanted to be able to keep their stories and memories alive.
Continuing to learn more and with the guidance of family, creating stories using scared symbols through my paintings, I feel that strong connection.
Being able to continue the scared tradition of storytelling through art, continuing what my elders and ancestors have done in the past, I feel honour and privileged to do.
Sharing knowledge and teaching the next generation, I’m extremely passionate about and educating people on the beauty of my culture and ding so through artwork.

Hi my name is Emmarita, I am a descendent of the Warlpiri Mob Tennant Creek, Northen Territory.
I am a mum, aunt, sister and friend. I started my art journey of becoming an entrepreneur after I left DCP at age 18.
As someone who was brought up through the system DCP, I want to inspire and be a role model for young people, and shed positivity through my art. That you too can achieve good things, no matter what your up brining is.
I use such bright colours to enlighten positivity through my artwork. I love to share my stories as well as create others.

Formed in 2011, Karungkarni Art and Culture Centre is the cultural heart of Kalkarindji, a community located 480 kilometres southwest of Katherine in the Northern Territory. Our Art Centre is owned and governed by the Aboriginal artists of Kalkaringi and Daguragu. Our vision is to keep Gurindji art, language and culture strong so as to pass on knowledge from old to young; to maintain and revitalise language; and to share our art, our culture and our story with the wider world.
The founding artists took part in the Wave Hill Walk-Off in 1966, when Vincent Lingiari led our people from Wave Hill Cattle Station, igniting Aboriginal land rights issues nationwide. Our Art Centre continues the legacy of those courageous and visionary men and women, providing economic and cultural benefits for the artists, families and community. Our artists’ work is a distinctive and genuine expression of traditional stories of the Gurindji people.
