This is me and my cousins going out bush in our yellow truck. This is our homeland near Amata.

Inawantji Jennifer Forbes was born in the bush around 1955. She grew up in the APY Lands and lives with her husband Sandy Ajax in Pipalyatjara. She is the sister-in-law of award-winning artist Jimmy Donegan and a devoted artist herself when she is in Kalka. Jennifer paints both contemporary bush trips using a naive realism style which is engaging and fun, always depicting a specific event, and more indexical abstract depictions of her traditional tjukurpa.

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