April Nulgit / Gulumbu

A fourth-generation Gija and Ngarinyin ochre artist from a widely respected East Kimberley painting family. Her wider practice draws on the Country, colours and cultural traditions of Texas Downs and her father’s West Kimberley homeland. April is the youngest artist from one of the most talented families of Ochre Painters in the East Kimberley.

April was born on the 11th April 1995, in an ambulance on the way from Warmun Community to Kununurra Hospital. Her great-grandmother Betty Carrington began creating art late in life but is an established Senior artist; her Ganggayi (grandmother) Sade Carrington is an International Artist; her mother Charlene Carrington is one of the most outstanding of the Third Generation ochre artists. This enables April to extend her artistic content to embrace both Gija land and her father’s country around Derby in the West Kimberley.
