Carolyn Kenta

Carolyn is an artist belonging to the Pitjantjatjara language and cultural group and is from the remote community of Pukatja, SA.

Carolyn was taught to weave baskets by her mother, Imuna Kenta, in 2008. Carolyn likes working with Tjanpi grasses, and especially enjoys making sculptures of Tinka (lizards) and Tjulpus (Birds). Carolyn has come leaps and bounds in the past few years - improving her weaving skills dramatically and developing a distinguishable and much-loved style.
