Rona Panangka Rubuntja
Born in Alice Springs in 1970.Training and Professional Experience
She was born with a severe hearing impairment. When Lutheran missionaries learned about this, they approached her family, asking for and receiving their permission for Rona to attend school at Yirara Community College in Alice Springs. She learned to write, use sign language, and draw, with her teacher, Mrs Ro Yule. Von Geburt an beinahe taub, konnte sie durch Vermittlung lutherischer Missionare das Yirara Community College in Alice Springs besuchen, wo sie schreiben, den Gebrauch der Zeichensprache und bei ihrer Lehrerin Ro Yule zeichnen lernte.Selected Exhibitions

Über ihre künstlerische Arbeit sagt sie: Ich mag Ton. Ich schaue den
Topf gern an, wenn ich ihn mache. Honigameise, Frosch. Unter den Bush
Tuckers [wildwachsenden Pflanzen und Wildtieren, die den Aborigines
traditionell zur Nahrung dienen] habe ich rraatninga [Passionsfrucht]
am liebsten - man kann sie leicht pflücken und finden und sie schmeckt
gut.
I like clay. I like to see the pot when I make it. Honeyant, frog. My
favourite bush tucker is rraatninga [passionfruit] - easy to pick and
find and taste is good.
