Lorraine Nakamarra Yungut

Lorraine Nakamarra Yungut is the daughter of famous Western desert artists Walangkura Napanangka and Johnny Yungut Tjupurrla, both represented extensively through Papunya Tula Artists Corporation in central Australia.

Lorraine along with her sisters Debra Young Nakamarra and Katherine Nakamarra Marshall were taught stories and started to paint with their mother Walangkura Napanangka.

Lorraine depicts striking bold works associated with women's stories, which refer to her extended knowledge of sacred places. At these deep spiritual places the women use this area for sacred ceremonies and to teach the young women their Dreamtime culture.
