Biography

Originally from Yuendumu in the Great Central Desert, Judy Watson Napangardi is highly representative of the pictorial dynamism of this community, which only began to reveal the mysteries of its 'dreams' in the early 1980s, first by painting on the doors of schools, as was done in Papunya in 1971, and then by reproducing on canvas motifs from the Warlpiri religious tradition.
