Born to artist Brandy Tjungurrayi and Nowee Nangala, Ann (Frances) Nowee (Nanguri) comes from a lineage of fine painters.
In this painting, she has depicted her mother’s country, Nynmi, on the Canning Stock Route in the Great Sandy Desert. The country is centred around Minyilpa warniri (rockhole) and the central circle indicates Minyilpa. Ann’s mother would walk between these places collecting seeds and hunting for bush tucker.
