NELLIE MARKS NAKAMARRA Women’s Ceremony 2019 Acrylic on Canvas Nellie depicts 'Women's Ceremony' and 'My Country' in her paintings. Most typically Nellie will paint a combination of these two Dreamings together. Nellie represents the women travelling across the country in her paintings with traditional iconography. Concentric circles are used to represent sacred women's sites while linear patterns emerging from these circles represent the women travelling from sacred site to sacred site. Women's body paint designs and the important bush tucker also feature throughout Nellie's artworks. Nellie has an incredibly strong aesthetic and combines rich earthy colours with a bright contemporary palette.

Painting in Australian Indigenous art style, acrylic on canvas.
