Birth Place: Haasts Bluff, NT, Australia
Biography: A Luritja speaker, Jeannie Brown was born at Haasts Bluff in the late ’40s, and later lived at Papunya. Unlike most of the early women painters who first worked on their husband’s or other male relatives’ paintings, Jeannie taught herself to paint in about 1980, after watching other artists painting at the settlement, some years before her husband, Theo Brown , began painting. Her Dreamings lie around the Haasts Bluff area and include Napaltjarri Women Dancing and the Munni Munni story. The couple had a son, Edward.
