NELLY NUNGARRAYI PATTERSON

  I am grateful for the opportunity to donate 33% of the proceeds from the sales of any paintings I do and all prints to "The Yamalathari Association". Established to raise funds to support the well-being of mob Elders and their families, particularly those in rural and remote areas. All funds go directly to the Elders most in need of support.

Aunty Nelly: Keeper of Culture at Uluru

One of the last pre-contact Elders of the Anangu people, Nelly has been campaigning for the preservation of sacred lore and culture since the 1950s. She has dedicated her life to teaching and sharing the Tjukurpa, the ancient lore of the desert passed down from Anangu Elders through song, stories, ceremony, and dance. Nelly's work is a celebration of the intricate relationships between people, and the natural world, and a testament to the enduring power of Indigenous culture.
