Yulyurlu Lorna Fencer Napurrurla

Yulyurlu Lorna Fencer Napurrurla was an innovator - regarded by many as the most original Warlpiri artist to emerge from Lajamanu. She was among the enthusiastic group of men and women who first took up acrylic painting at the Lajamanu School in 1986. As her mastery of the medium developed, Napurrurla developed a highly personal style to illustrate her ancestral stories. At the heart of her lifetime's work was the Yam complex that centred upon her country at Yumurrpa in the Tanami Desert of the Northern Territory, Australia.
