GALUMA MAYMURU
Galuma Maymuru (b. 1951) is the surviving daughter of the great Narritjin. Galuma was one of the first Yolgnu women to be instructed to paint (by her father) the sacred clan designs that were previously the domain of high ranking men.
As a participant in the groundbreaking exhibition ‘Buwayak’ at Annandale Galleries, Sydney in 2003 and a winner of that year’s Best Bark painting prize at the Telstra Aboriginal Art Awards, her significance cannot be overstated. She has been a finalist in the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Award on numerous occasions.
