I’m Lynley Nargoodah, a Nyikina/Walmajarri woman and mother of five. I’ve worked at Mangkaja as Curator, Gallery/Admin Assistant, and Studio Coordinator, supporting artists and families day to day. In 2016 I was part of the Desert River Sea Visual Arts Leadership Program and also took part in AWEP with ANKA. These experiences deepened my understanding of caring for artworks. I believe it’s vital we keep telling our stories so future generations, like my daughters, can continue them — like the Butterfly story I now paint.


Mangkaja Arts Resource Agency is a vibrant Aboriginal owned art centre located in the township of Fitzroy Crossing, in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Mangkaja, meaning wet weather shelter, was incorporated in 1993 by a small group of artists to support cultural, social and economic development in the region. Mangkaja represents artists across four language groups within the region – Bunuba and Gooniyandi of martuwarra (river country), and Walmajarri and Wangkajunga from the jilji (sand-hill country of the Great Sandy Desert). Mangkaja artists are renowned for their uninhibited style and lively use of colour, painting images of country that share stories of culture and identity. Mangkaja exhibits nationally and internationally with many artists represented through each of the State Galleries, the National Gallery of Australia and significant private and public collections around the world.
