EUNICE NAPANGARDI is Born in Yuendumu in the early '50s. Eunice is Luritja / Warlpiri, and is the sister of PANSY and Alice Napangardi and Rene ROBINSON Napangardi, with whom she shares many of the Dreamings they paint. One of the first women painters: to judge from stylistic similarities, she worked on her "old bush husband" KAAPA Tjampitjinpa's "town paintings" for several years in the early '80s, emerging in the late '80s as an artist in her own right and one of the Center for Aboriginal Artists' leading painters. Her work is included in the Stockmen's Hall of fame and she was one of three women selected for a special furniture painting project for the Bicentennial Travelling Exhibition. Her work also featured in the "Tjukurrpa" Exhibition at the Blaxiand Gallery c. 1989. In 1991 she exhibited again at the Aboriginal Arcs Australia Gallery in Sydney with MAXIE Tjampitjinpa, travelling to Sydney for the opening. She has also completed two major commissions, for the new Alice Springs airport, which opened in December 1991, and for a travelling exhibition that started in Washington in 1992. She also exhibited in Brisbane with Pansy Napangari in a two women show. Collections: Wollongong City Art Gallery, Federal Airports Corporation, Richard Kelton etc. |
