Betty Campbell Australian, Pitjantjatjarra/Yankunytjatjara, b. 1961

Betty has lived in Mimili her entire life. Born at Everard Park Station in 1961, she is a well-respected Elder for Mimili Community. As a young girl, Betty recalls watching her father muster cattle at the old station. She spent her childhood on the station with her two siblings Teddy and Pauline Wangin.

Betty loves sharing her story and experiences with visitors to Mimili, often guiding trips to important sites in the area. Betty is a passionate singer and dancer, and loves to lead dance ceremony teaching the children at Mimili School the different songs of the ancestors.

Betty creates paintings related to women's ceremony, stories that can be painted and danced, but not spoken. Whilst Berry has been a cultural leader her whole life, she has only come to painting on as a form of expression late in life. Her potent and intuitive work has been recognized in art prizes across Australia.
