Nura Rupert

Many dogs and kids! This painting is Nura’s story of the many many dogs and kids that she sees around where she lives at Pauatija. Nura is an elderly woman with a great sense of humour and wild imagination, who is still very much in touch with the past and her childhood in the bush. With a joyous, childlike mind and heart, Nura often paints the things that bring her joy – kids, dogs, birds, flowers. Many of her recent paintings such as this one depict simple, contemporary stories that capture life in the community of Pukatja.
