ARTIST INFORMATION:
Valma was born in 1997 in Alice
Springs Hospital, the closest hospital to Yuendumu, a remote Aboriginal
community located 290 km north-west of Alice Springs in the NT of Australia.
Valerie was born into a family of artists. Her mother is Sabrina Napangardi
Granites and her Grandmother is Alma Nungarrayi Granites, both established
artists who have exhibited in Australia and overseas. Valma grew up listening
to her mother and fathers Jukurrpa stories while watching her family paint. She
went to the local school in Yuendumu, finishing off her studies at Yirara
College, an Aboriginal boarding college in Alice Springs. When she finished
school she worked on the Mt Theo Program and on a Walpriri Media project. Valma
began painting with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation, an Aboriginal
owned and governed art centre located in Yuendumu, in 2013. She paints her
fathers Jukurrpa, Warna Jukurrpa (Snake Dreaming) that relates to her homeland,
Mijirlparnta (Mission Creek). These stories have been passed down over the
generations for millennia and relate directly to the land, its features and the
plants and animals that inhabit it. Valma uses an unrestricted palette to
depict a modern interpretation of her traditional culture.
