For a young artist, Nungarrayi has developed her own path of artistic success and received widespread acclaim for the detailed and intricate patterning that is a feature of her work. As a young teenager, Nungarrayi learnt the stories of her Jukurrpa (Dreaming) from Lily Hargraves. Nungarrayi spent years under Lily's tutelage, learning to bring the Tanami desert and the stories of creation to life through painting. Nungarrayi has refined her techniques and developed her own unique style that has enabled her artwork to become highly sought after. Typically, she paints the Jukurrpa of goanna, her father's story. She favours shades of deep red and brown, the predominant colours of the desert. Her artwork is instantly recognisable for its presence of fine detailed markings that represent the patterning of a goanna's skin and its footprints in the sand. Much of Nungarrayi's respect and education of Country came from the stories and skills she learnt from family at her ancestral homeland, Yartula Yartula, which lies approximately 350 kilometres south of her home in Lajamanu. This tells the story of hunting goanna. This is mainly a woman’s job. They are found in holes in the ground. The women do this. They teach the young ones of their own skin groups. The women set fire to the spinifex grass to find the holes. They use their digging sticks to dig the goannas out of their deep holes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eART CENTRE\u003c\/h2\u003e\nLajamanu has a population of around 900 Warlpiri people.

Her mother was the legendary Warlpiri artist, Lorna Yulyurlu Napurrurla Fencer. Nambia's father died shortly after her birth, leaving her to be raised in the bush and around the Dreaming site of Minamina by her mother. During the government relocation scheme in the early 1950s, Nambia's family was rounded up and moved to the community of Yuendumu. As a result of the displacement, many of her siblings moved to Alice Springs and became addicted to alcohol. Like her mother, Nambia has also become a famed artist, exhibiting around the world in Europe and North America, as well as extensively throughout Australia. Nambia's artwork is instantly recognisable for its bold simplicity and her eclectic colour palette. This Jukurrpa (Dreaming) is about the women of the Napangardi and Napanangka skin groups. They left Minamina, dancing as they travelled, until they reached Wakurlpu. When they reached Wakurlpu they continued to dance until late into the night, when they finally slept until dawn. The next morning, the women left Wakurlpu, dancing once more, until they arrived at Yanmajirdikirlangu. Again they slept, before dancing away from Yanmajirdikirlangu in the direction of the rising sun far to the east. As they travelled they gave birth to everything, bringing all the rain clouds, waterholes, and waterways into existence. Finally, they reached the end of their land, so they turned around and danced to the west. When they had travelled as far as they could, the women threw their dancing sticks to the ground, pointing in the direction of west, then they returned to Minamina. When the women were finished, everything was left so Warlpiri people could feed on the knowledge of their homelands. Minamina is a women's dreaming site near Lake Mackay, approximately 700 kilometres south of Lajamanu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eART CENTRE\u003c\/h2\u003e\nLajamanu has a population of around 900 Warlpiri people.

Napanangka draws on her experiences as a desert walker travelling throughout the Tanami desert and her knowledge of Warlpiri culture and ceremony to create her art. Her paintings masterfully combine optic whites with an array of bold pastels that, not only reflect her bright personality, but also define the feeling and colours of desert flowers, blooming after rain, the clear skies, and the salt plains of Mina Mina around Lake Mackay. Working in a variety of mediums, Napanangka has achieved great success, appealing to a widespread audience, for her contemporary abstract art that subscribes to a distinctive, singular aesthetic. Initially, Napanangka's paintings were denounced by senior men in the Lajamanu community for appearing to digress too far from her traditional Jukurrpa (Dreaming). But it is the uniqueness of her work that has won many admirers amongst critics, gallerists, and art lovers. Over time, her paintings have also become accepted and admired within the local Warlpiri community. Napanangka has been exhibited extensively around both Australia and internationally.
