Deborah Umala

APY Art Centre Collective

I was born in Alice Springs in 1979.
I paint the waterholes from Victory Hill where mum used to take us when we were little. We still take the children there. We swim in the big one – we swim, dance and drink the fresh water.
I am a mother of 5 and grandparent of 2, and I paint this story because it is important to teach the little ones.
