Rachel Lynch Napaltjarri paints at the Papunya Tjupi Art Centre, located in Papunya, north west of Alice Springs. Established in 2007, Papunya Tjupi Arts is 100% Aboriginal owned and directed and currently consists of 150 artists from the Papunya region. Central to Papunya Tjupi is the understanding that painting is an important part of culture and connection to country, and that the teaching and passing of knowledge is what keeps the community’s future strong. Rachel paints the bush onion or Yalka which is a traditional Aboriginal bush food, found often in the Karrinyarra area. Bush onions may be eaten raw or cooked after removing the hard casing. They are a small onion sedge with corms on shallow roots. The women would perform a traditional ceremony in honor of the Bush Onion where they dance and paint their chests and forearms in ceremonial body designs. They also decorate their bodies with feathers and dance with ceremonial objects such as nulla nullas (ceremonial dancing baton). Rachel also paints the Water Dreaming from Karrinyarra (Mt Wedge, north of Papunya) which her father, Two Bob Tjungarrayi, also painted. Karrinyarra is associated with rain making ceremonies.
