Maringka Burton was born in the bush at Kaliumpil, a rock hole and traditional camping area in Western Australia. Maringka's parents died when she was a little girl and she was raised by the artist Anmanari Brown and members of her extended family.
She spent much time with her brothers. She started school at Warburton in WA but she ran away and traveled with her brother to Ernabella in SA.
After a while they moved to Fregon where she finished her schooling and began teaching.
Later she got a certificate in health and worked at the Irrunjtyu community clinic. She now works mainly at Kanpi in SA.
Maringka's works are held in a number of major public and private collections. She and Jimmy Baker were represented in the the inaugural National Indigenous Art Triennial Culture Warriors exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia.
She often paints the desert landscape in bright green colours and contrasts it against red and ochre to depict landforms. She also uses layers of contrasting colours to show the detail of the desert in full bloom.
“I am a senior lady at Iwantja, and I began working as an artist a long time ago. Me and Mrs Singer were the first women artists here. I help look after the art centre and go to the big meetings for them. I also enjoy singing and I traveled to sing in the ceremony for the Sydney Olympic Games.
My father was a special Ngangkari (traditional healer) and he taught me about healing; now I am Ngangkari too. I do lots of work for the women’s council, I’m always working and supporting Anangu women.
As artists and as a community, we should always do more work with the young people, making things together and teaching them about the old ways, always remembering country, this is a good way.”
