Judy Napangardi Watson was a Warlpiri artist born at Yarungkanji, Mt. Doreen Station. She grew up living a traditional nomadic life, frequently traveling on foot to her ancestral country at Mina Mina and Yingipurlangu. Judy was taught painting by her elder sister and painted alongside her at Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation in Yuendumu, developing her unique style. Her work features a dynamic use of color and energetic "dragged dotting" style, conveying the sacredness of place and song in her culture. She was a woman of incredible energy and had ten children, four of whom she outlived.
