Protty is a senior law woman who is recognised as a guardian of knowledge and cultural Tjukurrpa songs. Her artistic practice is very diverse, being held in high esteem for her carving, weaving and painting. Her use of concentrated colour, with a very controlled palette makes her compositions quite unique. We are pleased to have a series of works that denote the trees local to her home.
