Originally from Blackstone in Western Australia, Delma now lives in Watinuma Community, twenty five kilometres from Fregon on the *APY lands. She is married and has a daughter and a young son. She paints at the Kaltjiti Art Centre where she is the current Chairperson and a valued arts-worker contributing to the management of the centre.
Inspired by the rich tradition of Aboriginal culture, and connection to country, the desert landscape is a constant source of inspiration for artists. Spectacular and ancient landforms, images of the bush, and vibrant colours are interpreted through pattern and colour. This place is the Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara Lands in the far north of South Australia.
