ANGES NAMPIJINPA FRY 🔥 // Agnes was born in 196 ANGES NAMPIJINPA FRY 🔥 // Agnes was born in 1965 in Yuendumu, a remote community located 290kms north-west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia. She was schooled in Yuendumu and still lives there today. Agnes is married to Stephen Jakamarra Walker, the son of the famous Warlpiri artist Liddy Napanangka Walker. Together they have four children, Lesley, Braden, Sinella and Trevor. Their eldest son lives in Papunya and their eldest daughter lives at Mt Liebig, originally an outstation of Papunya but now a small community in its own rights. Agnes has been painting with Warlukurlangu since 2006 and paints her father’s Jukurrpa stories, Dreamings relating directly to her land, its features and animals. These stories were passed down to her by her father and her grandfather and their fathers for millennia. When Agnes is not painting she likes to go hunting for bush tucker, particularly Bush Currants. When she has the opportunity she also likes to travel to Papunya and Mt Liebig to see her daughter and son.

MARY NAPANGARDI BUTCHER 💫// “We [family] get MARY NAPANGARDI BUTCHER 💫// “We [family] get together and as we paint we all tell stories”. ⠀ ⠀ Mary loves to paint, to learn more about her culture.⠀ ⠀ She was born at Mount Dennison, but has spent most of her life in Yuendumu. ⠀ ⠀ Mary attended the local school but did not continue her studies until later in life when she enrolled in an English and Literacy Course with Batchelor College. ⠀ ⠀ Mary has two sons, Herbert and Johnathan Martin and has been painting with Warlukurlangu Artists since 1987. ⠀ ⠀ She was greatly influenced by her father Jack Japanangka Butcher (Dec) and his sister Daisy Napanangka Nelson (1930 – 2001), both artists who painted with Warlukurlangu Artists in the early 80s and 90s. ⠀ ⠀ Mary would often paint with her sister Florrie Napangardi Jones and with Daisy on the same piece of artwork. ⠀ ⠀ Mary paints her Pikilyi Jukurrpa stories-Pikilyi is a sacred water hole that never dries out. These Dreamings depict country, and describe journeys across the land. ⠀ ⠀ Traditions passed down to her by her father and grandfather and their fathers before them for millennia.
