Janet Long Nakamarra Original
Dreaming Sandy Creek - Acrylic on Canvas
Renowned Warlpiri artist Janet Long Nakamarra was born in 1960 in the Northern Territory and raised in the remote community of Yuendumu, where she learned traditional stories, language, and ceremonial practices from a young age. Deeply connected to her heritage, Janet has developed a respected career sharing Warlpiri culture through painting, teaching, and writing.
Her acclaimed “Dreaming Sandy Creek” series draws from the ancestral story of the water Dreaming (Ngapa Jukurrpa), a powerful narrative passed down through her father’s lineage. Using meticulous dotting, flowing lines, and symbolic forms, Janet creates paintings that represent rain, waterholes, and the journey of ancestral beings. Her work is known for its lyrical beauty, precision, and deep cultural meaning.
Over the years, Janet’s paintings have been exhibited nationally and internationally, and her storytelling through both art and writing continues to inspire and educate audiences about the richness of Warlpiri tradition and the enduring power of the Dreaming.
