Title: My flower garden
Nita Ferguson was born in the bush near Kulgera. She spent her childhood with her family on Erldunda, Kulgera and Henberry Stations where her father worked as a stockman and her mother a housemaid in the homestead.
Nita went to secondary school at Eudunda Lutheran school and returned to Titjikala in 1964. She used to sit and watch her mother carving artifacts and punu (wood) . When finished they would catch the Old Ghan train into Alice Springs and sell the artifacts to tourists around the Mission Block shop.
Nita has been painting at Tapatjatjaka Art for many years and selling her work through the art centre. Nita continues to produce high quality artifacts, carvings and paintings. Nita is a Director of the art centre and held the position of Chairperson for 12 years.
Nita is well known for her Desert salt pan paintings which have increasingly, in recent years, incorporated desert flowers. In this semi-abstract work Nita brings together her love of painting and her love of gardening.
