Collection: Heather Napurrurla Anderson

Heather Anderson's childhood on Alroy Downs in the Barkly Tablelands is her greatest influence. The Tartukula Artist is best known for vibrant pastoral landscapes which capture the day to day of station life and speak to the importance of agriculture and water to the people living in the Barkly region, where large cattle stations are part of the region's economic lifeblood. A prolific artist, Heather employs a bright palette to create narrative pieces which depict the daily rituals of station life, and more recently of her life in Tennant Creek. Her playful palette and distorted approach to perspective are a nod to the naïve style which can be seen in different interpretations throughout the work of the Tartukula Artists.
