Jennifer Inawantji Forbes was born in the bush around 1955. She grew up in the APY Lands and now lives with her husband Sandy Ajaxin Pipalyatjara. She is the sister in Law of Telstra winner Jimmy Donegan and a devoted artist, coming to the art centre everyday to sit and paint.
Jennifer paints both contemporary bush trips using a naive realism style which is engaging and fun, always depicting a specific event, and more indexical abstract depictions of her traditional Tjukurpa. Her figurative paintings are full of character, depicting minyma (women) sittng together full of expression and personality.
