Julie Nangala Robertson ~ Retrospective

Recent winner of the 2023 Telstra NATSIAA General Painting Award, Julie Nangala Robertson is the traditional custodian of her country Pirlinyanu, a land of rocky outcrops and deep water springs. It is a water dreaming site (Ngapa Jukurrpa) not far from Nyrippi, west from Yuendumu. This is her father’s country.

Born in Yuendumu in 1973, Julie Nangala Robertson is the eldest of five daughters of the late internationally renowned Dorothy Napangardi.


Since the late 1990’s, often in the company of her talented mother, Julie has pursued and developed a creative visual language all of her own, one which consists of a fascinating blend of stylized experimentation and ancient narrative.
