The Artist

Story

This painting represents women having a ceremony. The concentric circle represents the site where the women congregate to hold their ceremonies or sit down in business camp. The lines adjoining the concentric circle represent the women dancing. The dotting represents the landscape in that particular area and can depict body paint designs used for ceremonies.

Artist

Nellie Nungala first started to paint helping her husband with the background dotting on his paintings and now she is a well known painter in her own right. Nellie lives at Papunya which is a community 240km west of Alice Springs with her family.
