Shannon Pollard is a young emerging artist at Tjungu Palya. Her vivid colour choices and impasto techniques come together in exciting compositions, centered around the Watarru landscape, and echoing the work of her aunt, the late Beryl Jimmy. Shannon is also an active member of her community, working at the Murputja school, and often helping out at the lunch program when at the art centre.
