“I first spotted this artwork in Alice Springs w “I first spotted this artwork in Alice Springs where I’d been spending time leading up to my first National Cabinet in Canberra. I’d had in the back of my mind that I wanted to take something special to gift to our new Prime Minister @albomp – and then I saw it. Artist Louise Napangardi Watson’s work represents the Mina Mina Jukurrpa (Mina Mina Dreaming) and tells the story of a group of ancestral ‘karnta’ (women) as they travel from west to east. The strength of First Nations culture and calibre of artistic talent here in the Northern Territory is something to take great pride in and it was with this same sentiment that I chose this piece. From Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation in Yuendumu to The Lodge in Canberra – Louise’s piece has a new home in our nation’s capital. Where it so rightfully belongs.” - @fylesnatasha ❤️‍🔥

Clarise Nampijinpa Poulson 🔥 painting Nguru Yur Clarise Nampijinpa Poulson 🔥 painting Nguru Yurntumu-wana (Country around Yuendumu). This painting depicts the natural landscape around Yuendumu. The bush around Yuendumu features plenty of ‘watiya’ (trees), ‘marna’ (grass), ‘kuyu’ (animals) to hunt, and ‘miyi’ (edible plants) to gather. #aboriginalart #aboriginalartist
Four generations 🖤 Athena is a fourth-generatio Four generations 🖤 Athena is a fourth-generation painter with Warlu. She is the great grand-daughter of Paddy Japaljarri Sims (deceased), one of the instrumental senior men in the painting of the now famous Yuendumu school doors, as well as one of the founders of the art centre in 1985. Her mother is Geraldine Napangardi Granites and her grandmother is the late Alma Nungarrayi Granites, both well-known artists. In 2010 Athena began painting with Warlu. She learnt her skill by watching her mother, sisters and grandmother paint. She paints Jukurrpa from her father's side (Ngapa Jukurrpa - Water Dreaming) and her mother's side (Ngalyipi Jukurrpa - Snake Vine Dreaming and Yanjirlpirri Jukurrpa - Seven Sisters Dreaming). It is her modern interpretation of her Seven Sisters Story that has caught the attention of art lovers around the world. Inspired by her grandmother's luminous celestial skies, Athena has employed an unrestricted palette and uses an experimental approach to the resources of paint and water.
