Emma Daniel Nungarayi

Emma Nungarayi lived at Papunya for a number of years. She is a well respected elder and up until recently has only painted occasionally. However, in 2004 Emma has become more prolific, developing a very free style with strong brush strokes and in-fill. Emma (sister of Don Tjungerrayi), holds much traditional knowledge, not only in story form, but also song and dance and she conveys this knowledge through her works with bold motifs and strong colours that reflect her feelings for those stories, the time of year and the colours of the country. Emma lived at Mt. Doreen near Yuendamu with her brother for many years and is the Traditional Owner of Karrinyarra, Mount Wedge. Paddy Carroll a renowned artist, (now deceased) is Emma's brother.
