Tjaduwa (also known in English as Angelina) has painted her ngura or homeland area where she was born and grew up. Iwaritjara is situated in the northern portion of Spinifex Country close to Irrunytju and is part of a large rocky outcrop area. Coming in from the bush in only 1986, Tjaduwa still retains a deep knowledge of her country as well as of many other areas in Spinifex country. She is a keen tracker of animals, is knowledgeable about traditional bush food, and has saved a group of people broken down in the desert where she found hidden water holes.
