Desma Ngwarraye Turner – Atyenh Amper – (My Country)

I paint the country that I come from, the beautiful landscapes and the many colours as they change during the seasons.

Categories: Artists of Ampilatwatja

Name: Desma Ngwarraye Turner

Language: Alyawarre

Community: Ampilatwatja

Biography:

The Artists of Ampilatwatja community was established in 1999 near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The work produced by the artists is recognisably distinct from other Aboriginal artistic communities, due to the application of fine dots and the often bright and naive figurative depiction of the land.
