Original Aboriginal art for sale by Ruth Nungarrayi Spencer.
Ruth was born in Alice Springs Hospital, the closest hospital to Yuendumu, the remote Aboriginal community in the Northern Territory where she grew up. She began painting at the Warlukurlangu art centre when she was a teenager and has done this at the same time as undertaking many administration jobs, working for 13 years in the Community Development Employment Project.
Ruth paints Dreaming stories which relate directly to her land and the plants and animals that inhabit it. These stories were taught to her by her grandfather, grandmother and her 'number two grandmother' Daisy Napanangka Nelson, who was also an artist at Warlukurlangu in Yuendumu.
Indigenous artwork from Australia makes a memorable Australian gift for corporate events, special birthdays, weddings and anniversaries. It is also an amazing statement piece of wall art for the home. Worldwide delivery available.
This artwork comes from Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation in Yuendumu, Central Australia. Established in 1985, it is one of the longest running Aboriginal-owned art centres and operates as a 100% Aboriginal-owned, not-for-profit organisation.
