A One of One Artwork

Jean Nampitjinpa (1956, Yuelamu – 2019) is a renown aboriginal artist, known for her impressionistic style, yet retaining strong ties to ancestral aboriginal Dreamings themes

Jean Hudson Nampitjinpa was brought up by her family in the traditional Law. She inherited Warlu (Fire) Dreamings from her father, Ngapa (Water) from her grandfather and Kanmarra (Bush Onion) from her mother.

At first she produced art using very traditional iconography, then her paintings took on a more impressionistic look.
