Sandra Pitjara Jones is an emerging artist from the Utopia region 270kms north-east of Alice Springs.
Taught by her mother and aunties, she paints ceremonial stories depicting Tharrkarr (Honey Grevillea), Irreyakwerre (Bush Onion), Ntyeny Ngkwarl (Red Mallee Flower) passed on down through the generations in her family.
