Anmanari Brown
Anmanari Brown was one of the pioneers of the art movement across the Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara, and Yankunytjatjara lands, which began in 2000. Anmanari was born at Purpurna and grew up living a traditional, nomadic way of life in the bush with her family before later living at Warburton with other Aboriginal families.
Anmanari mostly painted the Kungkarrakalpa Tjukurpa (Seven Sisters Dreaming), which came from her mother, whose homeland was Kuru Ala, a sacred place for women. Anmanari used iconographic symbols in her paintings. She used patterned lines to represent tracks in a journey, or seven small shapes or lines to represent the sisters. She also sometimes used colour symbolically.
