Alice Dixon Nampitjinpa

Alice was born in 1943 near Talaalpi, a swamp located slightly east of Walungurru, on the Western Australian border. Prior to painting, Alice worked for many years at the Kintore School, teaching young girls dancing and the traditions of the desert people. Alice started painting on the “Minyama Tjukurrpa”, the Kintore–Haasts Bluff collaborative canvas project. As a painter, she was inspired by her rich cultural heritage and thrived when engaging with her stories and lore.
