Henry Farmer is a Ngaanyatjarra artist, arts worker and 2022 Director of Tjarlirli and Kaltukatjara Art. Henry is the son of senior artist and law woman Mrs A. Farmer. Henry has only started painting in recent years in Kaltukatjara, having had his works exhibited for the first time in 2018 at the Revealed exhibition for emerging Aboriginal artists in Fremantle, WA.
Henry paints strong tjukurrpa (dreaming stories) from his grandmother and grandfather's country, Kuruyultu – a sacred site to the west of Tjukurla community. Earlier in 2019 Henry participated in the DesArt photography workshop and has developed an interest in taking photographs of family and artists in the art centre. Henry is keen to keep developing his story by documenting community happenings – especially his bush mechanics workshop!
