Biography
Born at Mt Barkly in 1952, Maureen Turner paints the Warlpiri Fire Dreaming for her country Warlukurlangu. She also paints an Emu story for this country. She first appeared as a painter on the files of the Mt Allan company Yuelamu Artists, but subsequently sold her work through the Centre for Aboriginal Artists and other galleries in Alice Springs. She has been painting since 1989 or earlier, and may have been influenced by her sisters, Sandra and Sonder Turner Nampitjinpa from Mt Liebig, where Maureen was a teacher in the community school. Later she moved to Alice Springs, and in 1990 travelled to Vanuatu for the Art Dock show, the first international art exhibition to be held in Vanuatu. In 2008, she was living in Adelaide.
