Delilah Shepherd Australian, Ngaanyatjarra, b. 1974

Delilah was born in Docker River,however moved to Warakurna since it was established fully in the mid-seventies.Delilah completed her schooling in Warakurna and has lived here ever since. Delilah paints two stories,Lapaku-which is her grandfather's country,and Wanarn-her grandmother's country. She said that while there is Tingari associated with both sites,she paints the claypans, waterholes and the country that she knows from frequent visits there. Delilah works casually at the art centre as part of our arts worker program. She is particularly interested in colour theory and mixing and is a fantastic driver, whom we regularly rely on as a driver for bush trips.
