Saraeva Napangardi Marshall

Saraeva Napaljarri Marshall was born on the 24th December 1996 and comes from Yuendumu Community approximately 300km from Alice Springs in Central Australia. She is the daughter of Julie Nangala Robertson, an artist from Warlukurlangu Artists. She is also the granddaughter of highly acclained Aboriginal Artist Dorothy Napangardi (sadly deceased in 2013). Saraeva still attends school and is passionate about visual arts and hopes to become a successful artist like her mother and grandmother.

Although Saraeva has been exposed to painting and art from a young age through her family, it was only a few years ago in 2013 that she began to paint for Warlukurlangu Artist in Yuendumu. Saraeva paints her grandmothers Dreaming of Mina Mina Jukurrpa. She would watch her grandmother paint and she would be told about the important women's Dreaming site. This Dreaming has been passed down through the generations. Saraeva uses a wide range of colours and traditional iconography to develop her own unique contemporary style of interpretation of Mina Mina Dreaming.
