ENQUIRE

Dorothy Napangardi, a Warlpiri woman, was born in the Mina Mina area of the Tanami Desert, c.1958.

Dorothy commenced painting in 1987 and her art often refers to her traditional country of Mina Mina, Northern Territory.

The rendition of her paintings is characterised by the way she minimises all references to the customary Aboriginal iconography.

In 1998 there was a significant turning point in Dorothy's work and in 2001 Dorothy won first prize at the 18th National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award, in Darwin, Northern Territory.

Her works can be found in important public and private collections in Australia (National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Art Gallery of South Australia, Australian Council, Queensland Museum, Artbank) and Overseas (Kaplan Levi Collection, Seattle, USA; Richard Kelton Foundation, Santa Monica, USA;Linden Museum, Stuttgart, Germany)
