Nellie Marks Biography

 

Nellie was born circa 1976 and belongs to the Pintupi tribe from the Kintore area in Central Australia. She has learned the Dreamings of her family ever since she was a young child. She is the custodian of Dreaming stories from her father's and her grandfather's country which lies to the east of Kintore in the Northern Territory. Her Dreamings have been handed down from generation to generation for many thousands of years.  Over a period of time she gradually developed her painting skills, being taught by Old Mick Namarrari, Uta Uta, Pinta Pinta and her father, the great master Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula.

Nellie and her sister, Elizabeth Marks Nakamarra are now sought after artists gaining popularity within Aboriginal art circles and her artwork can be found in Wentworth galleries.
