Biography
Born in Yuendumu in 1956, Monica Nakamarra Doolan was a Warlpiri speaker. She did her first paintings while attending a teachers’ training course at Batchelor College in 1989. She painted Warna (Snake), Yawakyi (Bloodberry) and Ngurlu (edible seed used for damper) Dreamings from the country round Mission Creek. She occasionally helped her mother, Liddy Napanangka Walker, and her maternal aunties with their paintings. Most of her maternal relatives live at Lajamanu and Yuendumu, though Monica herself lived in Alice Springs. Bertha Nakamarra Dickson was one of her sisters.
