Story
In this painting Barbara has depicted her country. The different colours and designs represent variations in the landscapes.
Recognised for her formidable command of paint on large-scale canvases, Barbara uses bold designs and intense colour to a represent variations in the landscape; powerful paintings depicting a bird’s eye perspective of her beloved Anmatyerre country and memories of place. Barbara upholds the importance of keeping country and culture strong, and passing on cultural practice and knowledge to younger generations.
Barbara was the winner of the prestigious General Painting Prize at the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award in 2021, and has since been a NATSIAA finalist in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, as well as being a finalist in the Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney in 2017, 2019 and 2021. Her work features in numerous prominent collections including the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; the Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; and Artbank Australia.
In 2020 Barbara was a recipient of the coveted Australia Council Artist Residency at Kluge-Ruhe in Charlottesville, USA, which coincided with her first solo exhibition Ngayulu Nguraku Ninti | The Country I Know and the completion of a large-scale mural on the walls of the gallery.
