Ningie has painted some of her country located south of Balgo in the Great Sandy Desert. This country is known as Yula after the tjurrnu (soakwater) depicted as the circle in the print.   The many lines represent floodplains as well as the tali (sand hills) found in this country.  This is the country of Ningie’s youth which she has a deep connection – physically, spiritually and culturally.

 
———

Ningie was born in the Pippar/Kiwirrkurra area. Her mother and father died when she was very young, and she came to the Balgo Mission at the invitation of Aboriginal people living there. Ningie has been a prominent Balgo artist for many years, her bold and dramatic style was highly sought after and her unique application of thick ‘rivers’ of paint result in a highly unique style. In her later year Ningie has developed a ‘loose’ style of painting as a result of her frailty and loss of eyesight, this has developed into a wild and uninhibited style which only comes with age and a deep knowledge of Country. Ningie loves to paint and is a dedicated and prolific artist.
