From today's featured article

style="color:#000;" |
Daisy Jugadai Napaltjarri (c. 1955 – 2008) was a Pintupi-Luritja-speaking artist of the contemporary Indigenous Australian art movement that originated in the Western Desert region. The sister of artist Molly Jugadai Napaltjarri, she lived and painted at Haasts Bluff, Northern Territory, playing a significant role in the establishment of the Ikuntji Women's Centre, where many artists of the region have painted. Influenced by the Hermannsburg School, Jugadai's paintings reflect her Tjuukurrpa, the complex spiritual knowledge and relationships between her and her landscape. Her paintings also reflect fine observation of the complex structures of the vegetation and environment. Jugadai's works were selected for exhibition at the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Awards five times between 1993 and 2001, and she was a section winner in 2000. Her paintings are held in major collections including the National Gallery of Victoria, the National Gallery of Australia and the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. (Full article...)
