Sarah Morton Kngwarreye was born in 1958. Her country regions are Ngkwarlerlanem
and Arnkawenyerr
in central Australia.
Sarah is a daughter to Utopian artist Mary Kemarre. Sarah and her mother were involved in the important Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (known as CAAMA) batik-making community projects, which resulted in Utopia- A Picture Story, 88 silk batiks from the Holmes a Court Collection which toured throughout Australia.
Sarah's first foray in painting with acrylic on canvas began when CAAMA initiated Utopia Women's Painting: The first works on canvas - A Summer Project. Sarah's work is featured in the Robert Holmes a Court collection.
