About the Item
Lily Hargraves Nungarrayi was driven to record and preserve cultural knowledge and traditions, knowing she was fighting against the power of time and the new impeding culture. She loved colour and expression, and in her later years her style changed slightly showing more freedom, while years of experience with brushes show skilled execution and technique. Lily produced some truly stunning work with heavy bold confident brush work while manipulating a broad range of colour. This artist's depth of character and life experience is reflected in her work.
Lily's paintings are held in a number of major collections, and she has been widely exhibited both in Australia and overseas, including France, Brazil and the USA. In 2009 and 2014 she was a finalist, highly commended in the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards.
