Sarah Morton Kngwarreye is an Alyawarre woman from Ngkwarlerlaneme Community in the
Utopia Homelands, Central Australia. Her career as an artist began by participating in the
CAAMA batik project of the late eighties and one of her works on silk forms part of the
Holmes a Court Collection of Utopian batiks
Sarah lives a semi traditional lifestyle dividing her time between Alice Springs and the remote
outpost of Ngkwarlerlaneme. She is renowned for her precise and intricate dotting style and
her recent works on canvas invariably convey something of the story of her totemic animal the
Honey Ant (Yerramp) which is prized for its edible liquid filled abdomen.
