About the Artist
Artwork is accompanied by Warlukurlangu Artists (Yuendumu) Art Centre Certificate of Authenticity/Provenance
1952 – 2023
Pauline Napangardi Gallagher was born in 1952 in Yuendumu. She went to the local school in Yuendumu and soon after married her promised husband. In 1983 they moved to Nyirripi.
Pauline had five children, three sons and two daughters, and fifteen grandchildren. Some of her family live in Nyirripi and the rest of her family live in Yuendumu, Kintore and Papunya: Aboriginal communities in the NT of Australia.
Pauline’s country is Pikilyi (Vaughan Springs), a sacred water hole and located near Mount Doreen Station west of Yuendumu and approximately 350km north-west of Alice Springs. Pauline painted from 2006 with Warlukurlangu Artists. She painted her father’s stories – Pikilyi Jukurrpa (Pikilyi Dreaming) and Mina Mina Jukurrpa (Mina Mina Dreaming) -Dreamings that relate to her land, its features and animals. They were passed down to her by her parents and their parents before them for millennia.
Pauline loved colour and used an unrestricted palette to develop a modern interpretation of her traditional Aboriginal culture.
