Artist Profile
Patricia Baker Tunkin was born in Alice Springs in 1981. She is the granddaughter of the celebrated artist Jimmy Baker, daughter of gifted artist, Kay Baker Tunkin and sister of artist Teresa Baker.
Patricia grew up in her grandfather’s country at Kanpi and lived with her grandparents for much of the time, later moving to Fregon where she lived with her parents. It was there that she was first exposed to art via her mother, Kay, who worked for many years at Kaltjiti Art Centre in the town.
Patricia started painting around 2005 at Tjungu Palya Art Centre where she was taught by her grandfather, Jimmy Baker.
Patricia paints stories associated with her grandfather’s dreamings, in particular Kalaya Tjukurpa (Emu Dreaming) and the important women’s creation figure of Marlilu. Patricia is married with a child and lives in Kanpi in the Pitjantjatjara lands.

Artwork Description
Patricia’s painting depicts the Minyma Malilu story, that tells of an ancestral spiritual woman. There is a significant site associated with this story, a cave situated near Kanpi. It is a deeply spiritual place for Aṉangu women like Patricia, believed to have healing powers. Inma (ceremony) to honour Malilu’s spirit is still performed there today. Like her sister and mother before her, Patricia depicts her physical and spiritual ancestral country from a topographic point of view, illustrating the intersecting tunnels of Malilu’s cave and aspects of the story.
