Biography
Bridget's family was relocated by the mission from Arltunga to Santa Teresa (Ltyentye Apurte) in 1953, where
Bridget was born and grew up. She attended school at Ltyentye Apurte and was taught by the nuns. After school
Bridget worked at the Women's Centre before being employed by the Art Centre in 1989. Bridget is one of
Keringkes senior artists and mentors and teaches other less experienced artists. She has travelled and exhibited
extensively. Many of her paintings have been reproduced in art based and commercial design products, while her
work has also achieved great success in national art awards.
