Renita Stanley

Renita has travelled overseas and participated in batik workshops in Indonesia in Yogjakarta. She has exhibited widely around Australia, in the varied mediums of batik, painting, and more recently ceramics. She likes demonstrating her decorative skills to other people. Renita’s distinctive walka/design draws from traditional mark-marking but is her own interpretation of these patterns.

As well as her full time arts career, Renita is strongly involved with the church, in particular the singing of hymns in Pitjantjatjara at regular gatherings at Ernabella. She has written and recorded her own songs and plays the keyboards proficiently. Renita was amongst the new and younger choir members who travelled to Adelaide to perform as part of the 2004 Festival. Renita has an ever-present sense of humor and a highly recognisable laugh! She was the Chairperson of Ernabella Arts in 2006-2007.

Renita has now moved to Adelaide for health reasons and has begun working in the Iwiri Studio.
