Judy Napangardi Watson
Judy Napangardi Watson (1925-2016) was born at Yarunkanji, Mt. Doreen Station, at the time when many Walpiri & other Central & Western Desert Peoples were living a traditional nomadic life. With her family Judy made many trips on foot to her country & lived for long periods at Mina Mina & Yingipurlangu, her ancestral country on the border of the Tanami & Gibson Deserts.
Judy was taught painting by her elder sister, Maggie Napangardi Watson. She painted alongside her at Warlukurlangu artists for a number of years, developing her own unique style. She was at the forefront of a move towards more abstract rendering of Jukurrpa by Warlpiri artists, however her work retains strong kurruwarri, the details which tell of the sacredness of place and song in her culture.
Judy Napangardi Watson exhibited throughout Australia & around the world; including exhibitions in England, USA, China, Japan & The Netherlands. Her works are featured in several major collections.

Mina Mina Jukurrpa (Mina Mina Dreaming) - Ngalyipi
The country associated with this Jukurrpa is Mina Mina, a place far to the west of Yuendumu, which is significant to Napangardi and Napanangka women, the custodians of the Jukurrpa that created this area. The Jukurrpa story tells of the journey of a group of women of all ages who travelled to the east gathering food, collecting Ngalyipi (Tinospora smilacina or snake wine) and performing ceremonies as they travelled.
The women began their journey at Mina Mina where Karla-ngu (digging sticks) emerged from the ground. Taking these implements the women travelled east creating Janyinki and other sites. Their journey took them far to the east beyond the boundaries of Warlpiri country. The Ngalyipi vine grows up the trunks and limps of the Kurrkara (Desert Oak, Allocasuarina decaisneana) trees. Ngalyipi is a vine sacred to Napangardi and Napanangka women and has many uses, including as a ceremonial wrap, as a strap to carry Parrajas (wooden bowls) laden with bush tucker and as a torniquet for headaches.
