Artist: Doreen Reid Nakamarra

Another bio on an artist by the name of Doreen Reid Nakamarra (birth: c.1948- October 20, 2009) who was born in the Warburton Ranges, in far eastern Western Australia. "Her pictorial style is based on repeated gestures and lines that build up a three dimensional optical field suggestive of specific stories associated with her land, but possibly also of movement generally – immaterial waves that move the world continuously." Doreen moved to Papunya, where she practiced the style of painting and produced her first completed paintings in 1996, later going on to exhibit her work in the States and in 2007 won the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award general painting prize.
