Maralyn Stanley was born in Ernabella in 1967 to Nungalka and Stanley from Young's Well. She is the younger sister of Renita and is part of a family that is strong in both law and in the art centre. Maralyn commenced working at the art centre in the 1990’s and was involved in several group exhibitions and workshops between 1996 and 1998. She then left the community to live in Alice Springs, and after a long absence returned to Ernabella in 2008 and immediately became a very active participant in the newly revived Ceramics Studio. Maralyn has been exhibited around Australia many times since 1996, including in Yangupala Tjuta Waakarinyi (Many Young People Working) at Sabbia Gallery, Sydney and Bold and the Beautiful at Talapi, Alice Springs, both in 2015.
