‘Women’s Ceremony I’ by Debra Young Nakamarra

‘Women’s Ceremony I’ by Debra Young Nakamarra is an acrylic painting on linen, signed and titled by the artist on the reverse.

Born in 1964, Debra Young Nakamarra began painting in 1984, under the guidance of her mother who taught her the Dreaming stories associated with certain sites.

Debra paints sacred women’s places, in particular the geographical features of the Western Desert around Kiwirrkurra and Papunya, notably rock holes, sand hills and caves. The lines represent the tali (sandhills), and the roundels the rockholes.
