Jennifer Ingkatji was born in Ernabella and later moved to Amana Community. Jennifer paints her country and her culture. In her paintings she is remembering important stories passed down to her from her father, mother and grandfather. She is thinking about how a long time ago, when they used to look after the country, there was plenty of food and families were happy travelling around from place to place.
Jennifer is sister to Nyunmiti Burton and also paints large scale collaborative works with her. Jennifer now lives in Adelaide for renal treatment and works across painting and ceramics at the Collective Art Centre Adelaide.

APY Art Centre Collective x Craft
June 19 – July 26
Clay Kin is a testament to the strength of kinship, culture and creative innovation. It marks a significant moment in contemporary Australian ceramics, where ancestral knowledge meets new forms, and where clay becomes a vessel for both tradition and transformation.
Artists in this exhibition represent many communities and art centres which are at the heart of the APY Lands. Founded in 2017, the APY Art Centre Collective is an initiative that provides support, resources, and opportunities for First Nations artists from the APY Lands and beyond. Through exhibitions, workshops, and cultural exchanges, the collective aims to promote Indigenous voices, foster cross-cultural understanding, and generate economic opportunities for Aboriginal communities.
