Biography:

Patricia was born in 1973 at Papunya Clinic, the closest clinic at the time. She is the younger sister of Traditional Owner and lawman Douglas Multa and acclaimed artist Alison Multa. Her two younger sisters, Lisa and Benita also paint. Patricia grew up with her family at Kungkayunti (Browns Bore), an outstation 1.5hrs drive, south/west of Haasts Bluff. Kungkayunti is the country of her father, Joe Tjakamarra Multa and her mother, Magdelena Multa Napaltjari is from Haasts Bluff. Patricia attended and boarded at Yirara College in Alice Springs from 1986-88 and then returned to Haasts Bluff where she has lived ever since. She worked part-time at the Haasts Bluff Kanparrka store and now spends most of her time painting and with family.

Patricia first began painting in the late 90’s and has been painting for Ikuntji Artists since 2006. She first started painting her Bushfire Dreaming and Kungkayunti (Women Dancing, Brown's Bore). Her paintings are now primarily of the Ininti bush seeds at Muruntji, west of Kungkayunti. In her work, she experiments with colours and movement using fine brush strokes. Patricia is married to Patrick Nolan, who also paints. Their daughter, Virgillia Multa is an emerging artist at Ikuntji Artists, travelling to Brisbane in 2018 for an artist in residency program with International Education Services. Patricia, Patrick and Virgillia often paint together in the studio.
