Warlayirti Artists are known for their bold designs and daring colours; defining characteristics that are the foundation of the art centres success. Two artists that epitomise these characteristics are Patsy Mudgedell and Pauline Sunfly Nangala.

Patsy Mudgedell is a contemporary artist redefining what Aboriginal art is, and can be. Through her richly textured paintings, Patsy encourages respect for country. "An artwork is a good way of showing that respect. It's alive like we are alive. It takes care of humans and humans can take care of the land. It's an active thing. This is why people have a duty of care to their areas. They have a responsibility and with that comes authenticity."

Pauline Sunfly paints her parents’ Country, her ancestral places south of her home at Balgo (Wirrimanu), which borders both the Tanami Desert and the Great Sandy Desert in northern Western Australia. Her striking paintings depict ancestral paths, ceremonial designs and the stories of important Tjukurrpa sites associated with the native cat, goanna and kingfisher. They are reimaginings of deep cultural knowledge painted with a unique contemporary expression.

The exhibition runs from 6-28 August and opens 1pm Friday August 6
