Both Rosalind’s mother and grandmother were famous Ngangkaris
(traditional healers) in the western country of the APY Lands, she has
many family members in the Amata community. Rosalind spent a life time
outdoors with her mother and grandmother traveling to visit family and
friends in need of healing. Rosalind's paintings allude to a healing
energy and strive to encompass the desert landscape. Her artworks speak
to a deep history of connection to both country and people. Richly
coloured, her paintings reference hidden pathways across the lands, and
subtly hint at the fluidity of movement and of journeys. Her painterly
marks weave colour through the canvas, flickering with an energy and
excitement.

In Pitjantjatjara language, the word Ngura is a definition
for the physical geography of land and country. However Ngura has a more
richly imbedded meaning as a place to which someone belongs; defining
where an individual comes from, family connections, skin groups, and
language.

Paintings of Ngura often portray personal stories and memories of country that is personal to the artist. Iconography of
significant elements within the desert landscape such as rock holes,
underground springs, mountain and rock formations, and sacred sites are
meticulously recorded from memory, and often depicted from an aerial
perspective.
