작품 상세

Lily was a dedicated very old and senior artist who was driven to record and preserve her culture, knowing she was fighting against the power of time and the new impending culture overtaking her community. A love of colour and freedom of expression were the hallmark of her paintings, most especially in her later years. The artist’s depth of character and life experience is reflected in this work. She wasone of the old desert walkers born in the Tanami Desert on country near Chilla Well. Her works have been exhibited both in Australia and overseas, including France and the USA. She was a finalist in the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards in 2009 and 2014. Warnayaka Art, NT Cooee Art, NSW
