Lorna Fencer Napurrula (c.1920 - 2006) has long been recognised as one of Australia's most influential and talented Indigenous artists, and we are fortunate indeed, following her triumphant touring exhibition in 2012, to show an exhibition of her works - this time all works are for sale.
In the Aboriginal Art world, Lorna's artistic voice has been one of the strongest and most original (in keeping with her own large personality). She transformed the way that traditional stories were painted with an increasingly vigorous, free, colourful and marvellously creative expression - and the older she became and the more experienced, this joyous outpouring became more and more exciting.

Our exhibition opens on 2 March 2013 in the ground floor gallery at 680 Darling Street, Rozelle and of course there is an online exhibition too for our international and interstate clients.
All artworks will be online from 1 March and available for purchase online or in the gallery. Enquiries to +612 95555283 or info@kateowengallery.com.
For a taste of Lorna's artwork as it relates to her traditional stories, visit our Dreamtime Stories section on the artist. Her stories are a fascinating insight into the Aboriginal culture and the artwork is of course sublime.
