Picture of Alison Munti Riley
Tjala Arts is located at Amata Community, in the far northwest of South Australia. It is an Aboriginal owned and managed corporation that sells artwork on behalf of its members.

In this painting Alison has depicted many rock holes (circles) where watcr collects after the rains. The lines connecting the rock holes are the creeks or water courses. These rock holes are an important source of water during the dry season when most of the water holes and creeks dry up. Water is an essential element in the design. Knowledge of rock hole sites is passed from generation to generation and revered by all Anangu (people) Pitjantjatjara. This is country where Alison's father lived and hunted.   USD $2000
