Julieann Pepperill was born in 1968 in Alice Springs and grew up in the tiny community of Ti Tree, 200km’s North of Alice Springs. She is an Anmatyerre woman. In the early 90’s Julieann and her husband Paul Janima-Purvis moved to the remote Stirling Station, 255km South of Tennant Creek where Paul worked as a stockman.

Julieann is a member of one of the most renowned painting families in Australia. Through her marriage to Paul, her aunties include Kathleen and Gloria Petyarre, and great aunt Emily Kame Kngwarreye. It was these relatives who taught her to paint the Yam Dreaming story from the family’s country which she does so with stunning execution.
