Faith was born to Nutangka Bennett and Barney Ward at a place called Mangatjatjara, close to an extremely important sacred site deep in the desert. Faith now lives in the small and remote community of Tjukurla, where she paints the stories of her country using the traditional Tjukurrpa and Tingarri designs passed down to her.
Faith is well respected in her community as a knowledgeable Ngaanyatjarra woman. When Tjukurla was still a small outstation of Kaltukatjara, there was no infrastructure or services. The responsibility of teaching the children in daily classes was given to Faith.
Faith is also a skilled basket weaver and purnu (wooden artefact) carver, and in recent years has expanded her practice to include silk painting and other textile creations. Faith has an aptitude for colour selection, and her canvases are strongly composed and carefully executed. She has been painting with Tjarlirli Art almost since its inception, and is a key and longstanding member of the organisation.
