Alma Nungarrayi Granites is from the Warlukurlangu Artists of Yuendumu, in the Northwest of Alice Springs. She paints a large array of stories all of which have been passed down to her from her father and generations before him. All her paintings tell creation stories that relate to the artists traditional country. 
"I want my art to tell the story of my ancestors and be able to show the world my culture and my traditions."

Otto Sims is from Yuendumu. He remembers spending much of his childhood travelling in the surrounding country of this region. Otto paints his fathers stories, that were passed down to Paddy by his parents, and their parents before them for millennia. These stories relate directly to Otto's country, its features and flora and fauna. 

Judy Watson was born at Yarungkanji, and was taught painting by her elder sister. She was at the forefront of a move towards more abstract work, however her work retains the details which tell the sacredness of place and song in her culture.
