Warnayaka Art

Isaiah Lewis has been connected to the art centre since 2008 as a young man. Prior to this Jungarrayi lost both his parents.  He was their main carer at a young age until they passed away.  His father was one of the older bush men who spent the majority of his life living in the Tanami Desert on country and not in a township such as Lajamanu.  Isaiah is a first generation born and growing up in a town. His mother was a school teacher.  His father was among the first group of Aboriginal people who travelled to Europe sharing Warlpiri Ceremony, ground mosaics there.  Isaiah worked as a staff member in the wood work area and documenting art works.  He helped with many projects including digital artworks, and multi media installations.  He also paints art works on canvas.  His digital works have exhibited in London, Germany, France, Spain and New York.
