About the Artists
Our vibrant and dynamic artists are from the Utopia region; a large remote area of Central Australia which, until recently, had no government funded art centre. As a result of their pioneering efforts, they have one of the strongest and richest art histories.

Born: 1981
Daughter of artists Paddy and Eileen Bird of Utopia, and granddaughter of Ada Bird Petyarre, Tanya grew up surrounded by the habitual routine of painting and first began painting herself as an early teenager. Ada, who passed away in 2009, was a strong influence in this as Tanya was very close to her grandmother. In 2010, Tanya began using black, grey and white designs to depict her subjects.
