Vistaria Nakamarra Ross was born in 1993 in Yuendumu, a remote Aboriginal community located 290 km north-west of Alice Springs in the NT of Australia. Since 2013 she has been painting her parents’ Jukurrpa, Dreamings that include Janmarda Jukurrpa (Bush Onion Dreaming) and Warna Jukurrpa (Snake Dreaming) from her father’s side and Yurrampi Jukurrpa (Honey Ant Dreaming) and Ngurla Jukurrpa (Native Seed Dreaming) from her mother’s side. All these stories have been passed down over the generations for millennia and relate directly to the land, its features and the plants and animals that inhabit it.
