Biography:

At the time of writing his biography Brenton was unable to say the name of his birth place because men's business had recently been held there. Knowledge of men's business is not public information. As a child Brenton went to school at the Ernabella Mission (Pukatja). Then as a young man he trained and worked as a carpenter. He worked as a stockman and fencing contractor. Brenton had never painted on canvas with acrylics before coming to Tjala Arts in February 2007. His wife is Iluwanti Ken who he met at Pukatja. They have three children including Sylvia Ken, who like Iluwanti, is an artist at Tjala Arts. Brenton is very shy and almost completely deaf.
