Tanya Singer (Yankunytjatjara Peoples) is Minyma Anangu, an Aboriginal woman who comes from a family of artists and makers. Tanya, her mother Sadie, her sisters Trisha and Priscilla and brothers Bernard and Brenton are punu (wood) carvers, some of whom have worked for many years with Maruku Arts. Instructed in traditional carving by her grandmothers, aunts and mothers, Tanya brings her own flair and attention to detail to her work. She is a mother to three daughters, sits on important boards and works as a translator. |
