Details of Judy Martin
About
Judy Martin was born in Mimili. Her fathers country is Wakura, near Nyapari. Her mother's country is Puntiri, near Sandy Bore, 30kms South West of Mimili Community. Judy lives in Mimili with her partner Muntjanti Martin and they have a son, Joseph. Judy's paintings depict Victory Well, a place she travelled to by Camel as a child to gather bush tucker whilst the men would hunt. Victory Well is set amongst stunning boulders and sand hills and many Anangu families live on homelands such as Sandy Bore.
Judy's application of paint is unique and her paintings lyrical. The linear lines represent the path they would take out to and around country. Judy has a deep connection to country and a spiritual linking with the land. These powerful links to the desert are expressed with beauty and integrity in her canvas paintings.
