Ronnie was born around 1943 near Muyinnga, about 100 kilometres west of the Kintore Ranges. Due to drought he moved to Haasts Bluff and stayed there until the establishment of the Kintore settlement in 1981. Being more in touch with his traditional lands and the Dreaming, Ronnie soon emerged as one of the Papunya Tula's major artists. His work reflects his directs ties with his culture and follows the strict Pintupi style of strong circles joined together by connecting lines.
His art has been included numerous exhibitions and collections around Australia. The Australian National Gallery and the Art Gallery of South Australia. He is also in permanent collections at the National Gallery and the Art Gallery of Victoria and the Supreme Court of Northern Territory. In 1988 he won the Alice Springs Art Prize which has spearheaded his movement into galleries around the world.
