Seven Sisters Dreaming (Rockholes)—Acrylic on Linen

Madeline Curley, a Pitjantjatjara artist (b. 1976, APY Lands, SA), is a self-taught painter whose work resonates with cultural depth. She’s the daughter of renowned artist Imitjala Curley and sister to Meredith Curley. Madeline rose to prominence in the contemporary Indigenous art scene through exhibitions, auctions, and even a projection of her work on the Sydney Opera House during the 2019 Badu Gili light series

In Seven Sisters Dreaming (Rockholes), Madeline weaves the sacred narrative of the Pleiades sisters on the run from the pursuer Nyiru, using acrylic on linen. Her composition features roundels that mark sacred waterholes and rockholes, with fine dotted lines mapping the sisters’ winding paths across the land. With delicate winding lines representing the sisters’ paths, all executed in vibrant yet harmonious tones

Through flowing dotwork and sweeping patterns, Madeline balances expressive freedom with cultural precision. Crafting visually poetic works that engage collectors and communities alike. Her paintings resonate beyond the studio, having been exhibited widely, sold at auction, and met with strong demand. Marking her as a significant voice in contemporary Indigenous art.
