Elizabeth Napanangka Dixon

Présentation

Elizabeth Napanangka Dixon is a Warlpiri artist from Yuendumu, a remote community approximately 300 kilometers northwest of Alice Springs in Central Australia. She is a member of the Warlukurlangu Artist Aboriginal Corporation, one of the longest running and most successful Aboriginal-owned art centres in the region. 

Elizabeth's artwork is deeply rooted in her cultural heritage, often depicting Dreaming stories such as the Mina Mina Jukurrpa (Women's Dreaming) and the Ngalyipi Jukurrpa (Snake Vine Dreaming). These stories are significant to the Warlpiri people and are passed down through generations, embodying the laws, traditions, and connections to the land. 

Her paintings are characterised by intricate dot work and bold compositions, reflecting the desert landscapes and the spiritual narratives associated with her Dreamings.
