Donna Ferguson is a young artist from Kaltukatjara (Docker River). Donna
paints important Tjukurpa (Dreaming) from around the Docker River area
and particularly enjoys depicting the forms of tali (sand hills) and kapi
(water). Donna uses a combination of brushes and purnu (wooden sticks for
dotting) to create her simply composed yet highly compelling compositions.
Her paintings often feature large swathes of classic desert shades—orange,
red, brown and yellow—contrasted against areas of cool blues, echoing the
manner in which life-giving waters cut across the harsh desert landscape
