The artist: Janet Nyunmitji Forbes.
Janet lives in the remote Aboriginal community Papulankutja (Blackstone) in the Ngaanyatjara Lands of Western Australia. Janet is a member of Papulankujta Artists.
Janet has painted a woman or kunga dancing at her campsite. The kunga has customary women’s markings painted on her breasts for performing ceremonial dances.
The campsite is identified by the fireplace (star in the middle) and wiltja – a traditional shade shelter made of branches. She is accompanied by her beloved dogs.
Janet is an accomplished artist with a fine sense of colour and composition. Her artworks are often intricately layered. She is also a weaver.
