Judy Watson Napangardi

Judy Napangardi Watson (born "circa" 1925) is an Indigenous Australian, senior female painter from the Yuendumu community in the Northern Territory, Australia. She is well known for the distinctive style of painting that she developed alongside her sister Maggie Watson who taught her painting skills. Born at Yarungkanji, Mt. Doreen Station, at a time when many Warlpiri and other Central and Western Desert Peoples were living a traditional nomadic life. With her family Judy made many trips on foot to her country and lived for long periods at Mina Mina and Yingipurlangu, her ancestral country on the border of the Tanami and Gibson Deserts. These places are rich in bush tucker such as wanakiji, bush plums, yakajirri, bush tomatoes, and wardapi, sand goanna. Judy still frequently goes hunting in the country west of Yuendumu, near her homelands. The combination of vivid colour, highly detailed works and high-level composition have led to widespread appreciation in the art world. Her paintings often describe the Mina Mina country. Her work is held in the following galleries:

* Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney
* Aboriginal Art Museum, Utrecht
* Gordon Darling Foundation, Canberra
* Flinders University Art Museum, Melbourne
* National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
* National Gallery of Victoria
* Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Darwin
* South Australian Museum, Adelaide
