Therese Ryder

Therese Ryder (born 1946) (skin name: Ngale – Perrule)[1] is an Eastern Arrernte artist from Ltyentye Apurte Community, 82 km south east of Alice Springs.

Ryder, part of the Iltja Ntjarra Many Hands Art Centre, is primarily a landscape artist and paints her traditional lands in the Central Desert.

Ryder was born at Todd River Station where her father Jack worked mustering cattle and her mother Nancy as a cook.

[3] While at the mission, and from a young age, Ryder was taught to paint in watercolour which remains her primary medium although she does sometimes incorporate traditional dot-style works.

That happened to me three times.This book was published alongside a poster and app combining her illustrations with the Arrernte and English names of Central Australian birds.
