Sheryth Bronson

Kaltukatjara (Docker River)

Sheryth Bronson is an artist belonging to the Ngaanyatjarra language and cultural group and lives in the remote community of Kaltukatjara (Docker River) in the Northern Territory. Sheryth loves living there, surrounded by many generations of her family and raising her own children up.

Sheryth is a strong basket weaver, using the native grass wangunu and raffia to create large and colourful coil baskets. She also enjoys making fibre sculptures whenever Tjanpi skills development workshops are held in her home community.

When she's not weaving, Sheryth paints at her local art centre Tjarlirli Art. She paints important tjurkurrpa (creation stories) from around the Kaltukatjara.
