Natalea Holmes Pula Alyawarre , b. 1982

Natalea Holmes Pula was born in 1982 in Tennant Creek. Her language is Alyawarr, however, she is also fluent in Eastern Arrernte and English. Her mother's country is near Neutral Junction Station south of Tennant Creek and her father’s country is Antarrengeny which lies in Alyawarr land north of the Utopia Region in Central Australia. Natalea started painting around 2011 under the tutelage of her mother-in-law Jill Kelly Kemarre, who is also from the Alyawarr language group. Natalea is inspired by the designs she observes in the native flora and fauna found in her country and the women's ceremonies that pay tribute to them.
