Janet Long Nakamarra Original

Dreaming Water - 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.

In Dreaming Water, Janet maps the ancestral water story of her country using intricate dotting and flowing aerial patterns. This topographic depiction of soakages, travel lines, and ceremonial sites carries both spiritual depth and cultural precision, connecting the viewer to the landscape and ancestral journeys of the Tanami Desert

Through her distinctive blend of traditional iconography and contemporary abstraction, Janet transforms complex Warlpiri mythology into visually compelling works. Her deeply personal storytelling, rooted in Ngapa (Dreaming Water) and cultural education, cements her hold in major collections and exhibitions across Australia and internationally.
