Kunmanara Carroll, a Luritja, Pintupi and Pitjantjatjara man based in Pukatja, worked from Ernabella Arts. Carroll was born in 1950, in Haasts Bluff, and later moved to Papunya when the new settlement was created there. He went to school in Papunya before moving to Areyonga, where he finished school, and then travelling on donkey with his family to Eagle Bore, a homeland just north of Ernabella.

After a long career in a range of community roles, Carroll began painting at Ernabella Arts in 2009, and in 2011 he was introduced to ceramics. Concerned with passing on cultural knowledge, Carroll found his paternal homeland an unwavering source of inspiration and the recurrent subject within his oeuvre of paintings and ceramic sculpture.
