Joy Nangala Brown

Joy Nangala Brown was born in Alice Springs in 1966 and grew up in the remote Tanami Desert region of Central Australia.  

Joy is the daughter of successful Pintupi artist Pegleg Jampijinpa and her paintings depict Dreamtime Stories, which have been passed down to her through many generations of her ancestors over thousands of years.

The Pintupi ancestral homelands are in the remote Western Desert region around the Western Australia and Norther Territory border.  The Pintupi were one of the last Aboriginal groups to make contact with white Australians.  The last Pintupi to leave their traditional nomadic lifestyle in the desert, in 1984, are a group known as the Pintupi Nine.

Joy paints with the world acclaimed Warlukurlangu Artists, an Aboriginal owned arts centre at Yuendumu, a remote Aboriginal community 290km north-west of Alice Springs.  Warlukurlangu supports Aboriginal artists in Central Austral to preserve their traditional culture.

Joy Nangala Brown’s paintings have been exhibited in major art galleries in Australia and around the world including, USA, United Arab Emirates and Singapore.
