Lorna Napurrula b. c.1924

Also known as Kumunjayi, Lorna Fencer Napurrula, Lorna Yulyulu Fencer Napurrula
  • Artist (Painter)
As a previous ceremonial painter, Lorna began dot-style painting on canvas in 1986 and soon developed her own unique style which became increasingly free, abstract and bold. She applied the paint in liberal quantities to produce works with bright, clear colours ranging from intense oranges to pinks, blues and lime greens. Widely recognised as an accomplished artist, she passed away in 2006, aged in her eighties.
