We got the idea to do the flower brooches from the flowers Beth was sewing on to our big soft sculpture woman. That is how we can get new ideas sometimes when we look at each other’s work we are doing in the art room. We always ask if it is OK to get that idea from each other. We always say YES! 

Rhonda Sharpe was born in Mparntwe (Alice Springs). She lived sometimes at Kwale Kwale and sometimes at Trucking Yards Town Camp where she went to Yipirinya School. Rhonda discovered her interest and passion for making soft sculptures when she followed her aunty Dulcie Sharpe into the Yarrenyty Arltere art room one day. From initially watching and learning from the other artists around her, Rhonda has over the years developed her skills, style and subject matter to reflect her own personal journey – from delicate stitched creatures to figures that depict profoundly honest personal stories full of deep self-reflection. 

Desert Mob is presented annually in Mparntwe | Alice Springs on Arrernte Country.
