Family, Past & Present (Waltja-Irititja-Munu Waltja-Kuwaritja) Painting
Welcome the spirit, warmth, and timeless connection of Aboriginal family into your space with Family, Past & Present by Yankunytjatjara and Kokatha artist Kelly Taylor. This powerful original painting is a heartfelt tribute to generations gathered together, honouring treasured memories, laughter, and the journey of family across time on Country.
Hand-painted on canvas with expressive brushwork and storytelling detail, this artwork celebrates the moments that connect us: hunting for bush foods, sharing stories around the campfire, and remembering loved ones. “Waltja-Irititja-Munu Waltja-Kuwaritja” means “Family, Past & Present” in the artist’s Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara language, a living expression of culture and kinship.
