Sarrita inherits her Australian Aboriginality from her father who was part of the Gurindji clan from the Northern Territory. Sarrita spent most of her youth growing up in Darwin in the Northern Territory. Not far from where her ancestors inhabited, it is here that her connection to her Aboriginality and subsequently the land was able to grow. Sarrita paints the naturally occurring waterholes she remembers travelling to around Alice Springs and Katherine.

"My art is a conversation between my ancestors and the contemporary world I inhabit."
