Biography:

Joyreen Holmes Kngwarrey was born at Honeymoon Bore. She has two sisters, Alana and Sarina and a brother Stevie. "My father's country is Ampilatwatja. My mother's country is Antarrengeny. I paint because I enjoy it, sitting around talking. I like painting landscapes in the colours green, white, yellow, burnt amber and red. We go hunting when we are not painting or working. I like to go hunting for honey ant and bush potato. In the future I just want to keep looking after my kids."
