Born in 1957 of the Karuwali Maiawali Pita Pita people of Central Western Queensland, painter Ronald Nyngee Eatts grew up travelling the state of Queensland with his family, following his father who worked as a fencer. He works are informed by these childhood experiences. Eatts’ artist statement in the catalogue for the 2001 exhibition “Gatherings, Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art from Queensland, Australia” states, “My paintings don’t tell traditional stories … they tell the story of itinerant Aboriginal families; things we saw; things that happened.”
