Selina Napanangka Fisher grew up in Yuendumu, a remote Aboriginal community 290 km north-west of Alice Springs in the NT of Australia. She has been painting with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation, an Aboriginal owned and governed art centre located in Yuendumu, since 2006. Selina tells that when she was little she would sit and watch her grandma paint (Topsy Napurrurla Fisher) and she would teach her many Jukurrpa stories. She paints her father’s Pikilyi Jukurrpa (Vaughan Springs Dreaming) and Karnta Jukurrpa (Women’s Dreaming).
