Gail Napangardi

Her painting style reflects a fusion of her origins at Papunya, NT, and those of her home in Amata where she now lives.

Gail paints her Grandmother’s country as well as the Bush Onion story (usually represented by a central plant like image) and the journey of the older women to gather them. Gail's paintings capture the changing textures and undulating terrain of her grandmother's country, west of Papunya. The lines are the tracks walked by the women to collect bush onions, and the roundels represent either the waterholes around which the onion grows, or where the onions have already been dugout from the land.

Gail is a highly talented artist with a great artistic and creative ability for colour and technique.
