Born at Erldunda Cattle Station, then moving to Maryvale Station, now Titjikala, Sally Mulda’s parents were from the Erldunda and Aputula (Finke) regions. She went to school at Amoonguna when her family moved there. Having never painted before joining Tangentyere Artists in 2008, from the outset Sally sought to record those interactions that constitute life for so many Aboriginal people today. This form of social commentary on the daily lives of Town Camp residents in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) represents an important catalogue of lived experiences. Sally was a finalist in the 2012, 2018 and 2019 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards and was the winner of the 2011 ‘Rights on Show’ Annual Human Rights Art Award. She was shortlisted in the 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023 Sulman Prize. In 2018 Sally was invited to exhibit at the Art Gallery of New South Wales as part of The National 2019: new Australian art.
