Lest We Forget
The only place to view Gwenda Turner Nungurrayi's spectacular new take on her awesome sand hill design is on the walls at Yubu Napa.
If you're in Alice, stop and to view these and many other beautiful works of Aboriginal Art.
We will get these onto our website soon, stay tuned
And the winner is…
Audrey L Turner!!
Using a ransom number generator online, we drew number 85. Listing all likers and sharers, Audrey was number 85 on the list.
Congratulations, this is a stunning little piece from Margaret Lewis Napangardi
We showed the beginning of this artwork a few weeks ago, and now we would like to present the finished painting.
Gwenda loves to try new styles and techniques and really loved working on this one.
Sized at 46cm x 30cm, this was her trying a new way of depicting the bush onion. Using a background of red and painting with white and yellows, the finished work is nothing short of spectacular! She has already begun this on a larger canvas. Stay tuned
After sharing so many black and white pieces of aboriginal art, here's a big splash of colour for today

Spectacular weather here right now and we cant wait to welcome those who are starting to come out of lockdown to our region again
There have been some cooler days and beautiful red centre skies these last couple of weeks. Just beautiful
As we work towards a better website, I am adding new artworks as often as I can.
I have some very cool work by Judy Watson Napangardi available on the website, with just a couple more to be added over the next few days.
Judy was a pioneer of Aboriginal Art. Her works were so fluid and original. She certainly was one of a kind
We truly do see some absolutely amazing work painted at our gallery and studio.
Fabrianne Peterson has loved being given the opportunity to create new variations on her signature Damper Seed works. And to think, galleries and studios have always told her that she needs to stick to what works and not get too creative…
I love hearing her say she needs a new canvas so that she can try some new idea if hers out.

Gwenda has decided that this is her favourite palette. Especially during these cold winter mornings in Alice Springs!
Warm shades of red, yellow, orange and pink come together perfectly to depict the Sandhills of Gwendas home country to the north of Alice Springs.
Yuelumu (Mt Allen) can be found in the southern part of the Tanami Desert. This area is full of beautiful sandhills that run in parallel rows and can stretch for many kilometres.
This piece is sized at 121cm x 61cm and is available at our website, follow the artists link to find Gwenda and to view this work.
The cushion and rug shown are based on the Rainbow Tali by Nellie Marks. This stunning and vivid range is available now at Yubu Napa Art Gallery under licence from the artist, who receives royalties for each piece sold.
Email us at gallery@yubunapa.com if you would like any information.
This range looks even better in real life and would brighten up any home beautifully! Cushion covers are priced at $68 and the rug (sized at 183cm x 121cm) is priced at $795. We also have 91cm x 61cm ($199) and 153cm x 91cm ($445) available.
Get in touch for a postage quote if youre not here in Alice Springs and can't get to our gallery.
The best way to truly appreciate this artwork is by spending time in our spacious gallery and taking it all in. The subtle colour palette really is very elegant, yet very striking at the same time.
Kuddtji Kngwarreye was an absolute delight to have in the studio. He lived telling us his stories about life at Boundary Bore and his time as a stock man.
This piece is available now on our website www.yubunapa.com
