Born 'in the bush’ in 1935, probably in the area of Lake Dennis, Bridget Mudjidell was a member of the Ngarti language group. Her country was Tulku, on the west side of Lake White near Yagga Yagga. She mainly painted about food and water sources in this region. The artist spent the first part of her life in the area and knew it intimately. A gregarious, friendly woman, Bridget Mudjidell was a leader in women’s activities at Balgo. Her works all reflect a great knowledge and love of the land. An energetic painter, her work was always deeply personal, telling of her recent visits to places and of her ancestors’ activities there. She began painting for Warlayirti Artists in 1988.
