Born at Yuendumu on 21st January 1961, Deidre Brown is a Warlpiri speaker whose traditional country is Mt Theo. She has been painting since she was eleven years old, after watching her mother painting at Yuendumu and asking her about her own Dreaming. Painting Women’s Dreamings, Bush Banana, Bush Goanna, Emu and Bush Tomato Dreamings, her first painting was sold to the Warlukurlangu Artists. Currently, Deidre lives in Yuendumu and has connections with the community at Willowra, but usually works with the Jukurrpa group in Alice Springs. Deidre’s intricate dot stylized paintings can be found in local and international collections.
