Biography
Born in Lajamanu in the mid ’50s, she is about thirty-five years of age (in 1991). For reasons too complex to explain here, Valda (pronounced 'Velda’) has two skin names. She is of the Warlpiri tribe/language, and her country Waylilinpa. Her Dreamings are Watiyuwarnu (Trees), and Warlukurlangu (Fire). She started painting in 1987, and lives at Lajamanu.
