Cindy Wallace

Cindy Wallace

Cindy Wallace was born on Santa Teresa mission in central Australia. She now lives her family at Mulga Bore, Utopia, a remote desert community out of Alice Springs. Cindy was brought up with the traditional education and values of her country.


Cindy is the sister of Colleen Wallace Nungari, an artist Central Art represents and nurtures.


Cindy Wallace has been painting for 12 years. Her depictions tell the stories of Women's ceremonies relating initiations, seasonal changes and general women’s business form a very important part of aboriginal society. The body-paint designs are learnt whilst applying paint to the chest, breasts and shoulders of women about to partake in ceremony.
