June Smith
June Smith was born in 1960 in Alice Springs and later moved to the mission outstation of Ltyentye Apurte (Santa Teresa) in Central Australia.
June Smith was one of the first women to paint for the Keringke Arts Centre at Santa Teresa, often travelling to various art and craft shows to Sydney Show grounds and also New Zealand.
June paints on a variety of mediums including silk, paper, boxes, pottery bowls, wooden frames and canvas. Her artworks capture her imagination often reflecting on elements based on her homeland and eastern Arrernte culture. (these elements may include dreaming sites, tracks, spirituality, landscape forms and patterns).
