About the Artist:

Tina Napangardi Martin Robertson, born in 1960 in Yuendumu, Northern Territory, is an established Warlpiri artist whose work is deeply rooted in her cultural heritage and family traditions. She has been painting with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation since 1996, and her art is known for its intricate, vibrant depictions of Dreaming stories passed down through generations. Tina's paintings often focus on her father’s Jukurrpa (Dreaming) stories, such as Honey Ant Dreaming (Yurrampi Jukurrpa), Snake Vine Dreaming (Ngalyipi Jukurrpa), and Mushroom Dreaming (Pulundari Jukurrpa). Her work is characterized by bold, fluid lines and symbolic patterns that represent landscapes, ceremonial sites, and the spiritual journeys of ancestral beings. Tina’s pieces feature a rich palette of earthy tones, representing the desert landscapes, and her designs often incorporate elements such as sandhills, soakages, and desert oaks. She enjoys teaching her children and grandchildren about the significance of these symbols, creating a bridge between generations and preserving her people’s cultural knowledge. Tina’s art reflects not only her deep connection to the land but also the importance of storytelling, ceremonial practices, and the Warlpiri people’s relationship with their country.
