Product Details

Winner of the 2023 Telstra Aboriginal Art Award in Best Painting Category , J ulie Nangala Robertson has painted the movement of rain falling on the rocky outcrop and the rock holes of the site Pirlinyanu, a rocky outcrop in the Tanami Desert, west of Yuendumu and towards the WA border.

This is her father's country. The passing of traditional knowledge teaches the location of deep rock holes here that contain valuable water even during dry times.


The eldest of the five daughters of Dorothy Napangardi Robinson has recently changed the spelling of her surname from Robinson to Robertson, as she feels that her father, Windy, had misspelt their surname, as Julie's other relatives in Yuendumu are all Robertson.
