'Valerie Brumby was born in Alice Springs and grew up in Areyonga. As a child, she enjoyed going out with family collecting traditional foods in the bush, an activity she still enjoys when out on Country today. She now lives in Mutitjulu with her family and is one of the core artists at Walkatjara Art. As a tour guide, she also teaches about Anangu culture to the region’s visitors. Valerie loves to paint the purple Parakeelya desert flowers often found in season around the three sacred sites: Uluṟu, Kata-Tjuța and Attila (Mt. Conner).' (Bright Light)
