Lanita Numina Napanangka

Lanita comes from a long line of desert painters of the contemporary Aboriginal art and dot-dot central desert movement. Drawing on the rich tradition of shared ceremony and Dreaming stories, the Utopia women artists have created images that reflect the deep connection to the land and its resources. Lanita has painted stories related to Dingo Dreaming, Bush Medicine, Bush Tucker and Waterholes. Her artworks have been widely exhibited and collected. The Danish community of Darwin presented a painting by Lanita to Princess Mary O’Donnell and Prince Frederick of Denmark as a wedding gift.
