Vicky Napurrurla Pope

Vicky Napurrurla Pope is a Tennant Creek based Alyawarr artist who grew up on Kurundi Station at the feet of the Davenport Ranges (Iytwelepenty). Vicky employs a feminine palette to combine rhythmic patterns with figurative renditions of local flora. Painted on richly textural backgrounds, Vicky’s works are notable for their movement; loose, repetitive brush strokes evoke bush flowers and seeds blowing in the breeze. For Vicky, painting is a means of recording and celebrating important cultural knowledge.
