Lisa Gurrulpa is an early-career weaver who has spent much of her life raising her children and, more recently, caring for her grandchildren. She is the wife of senior artist Bobby Bununggurr (dec.). While Lisa is often shy and quiet at the art centre, her true personality shines when she is out on Country. In the bush, gathering materials, she comes alive, laughing, telling funny stories, and sharing moments with the other women. Lisa loves working alongside the women weavers, harvesting and collecting natural fibres and dyes to create beautiful fibre art pieces that are deeply connected to place, culture, and community.
