Ada Pula Beasley is an Alyawarr speaker born at Ampilatwatja in 1959. She currently resides in the remote community of Epenara, 250 km south east of Tennant Creek in Central Australia. Ada started painting in 2012 and is well known for her depicting the beautiful, layered landscape of her Alyawarr country. The landscapes encompass all Dreaming's associated with her traditional country. Ada is interested in preserving her culture and teaching the younger artists about country - keeping alive the knowledge of the elders, knowing when and where to go hunting and gathering, bush medicines, locations of 'soakage's' (water), travelling with family for ceremonies, and maintaining a connection with the land. Ada is sister to artist Michelle Holmes and daughter to artist Jilly Holmes.
