Nora Nelson
Norah Nelson Napaljarri was born at Haasts Bluff on October 26th 1956.
Norah was inspired by watching her mother paint when she was a young girl, but did not commence painting until 1986 while helping out on her husband's canvases the well-know artist Jakamarra Frank "Bronson" Nelson (now deceased).
Norah Nelson Napaljarri portrays the Milky Way Dreaming in her artwork with the permission of Paddy Sims, a senior custodian of that Dreaming in the Yuendumu community.
