Betsy Lewis a Warlpiri speaker was born out in the bush at Kunajarryi, west of Yuendumu . Her family moved to Mt. Doreen Station where Paddy Japanangka Lewi, "grew her up". She went to school in Yuendumu and has lived there ever since, with sojourns in Nyirripi, a neighbouring community. She started painting in 1999 and her reputation spread fast. Sadly Betsy has passed away and we have sold out of her paintings.
