Yam Dreaming | 93h x 71w | RK927

Not stretched or framed  | Acrylic on primed linen

Rachael Nambula was born in 1970 in the Utopia Region on Stirling Station, North of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.

Her main painting design is the Pencil Yam.  Her Mother, Evelyn Pultara, is one of the senior custodians of the Pencil Yam Dreaming and this has been passed down to Rachael.  Rachael represents the Yam in both fine and broad leaf style.

Rachel is a teacher's assistant at a small outback school north of Alice Springs.  She works with Aboriginal children to help keep their cultural, language and traditions alive.  She is a mother to three sons and one daughter.  It is meaningful to Rachael to continue painting her Ancestors Dreaming stories.
