Since 1991, Jennifer has worked alongside her mother Helen Lanyinwanga and sister Deborah Wurrkidj at Bábbarra Women’s Centre, located at Maningrida in Central Arnhem Land (https://babbarra.com/). Jennifer’s work at Bábbarra focuses primarily on the textile printing process. As well as designing her own textiles, she is highly experienced with both lino and screen printing, and prints regularly. Jennifer is also well known for her bark paintings, hollow logs and carved sculptures, where her works have exhibited throughout Australia and are held in the Art Gallery of South Australia’s collection.
