Lily Kelly Napangardi (1948) is a distinguished

contemporary Aboriginal Australian artist from

Watiyawanu in the Northern Territory, whose

paintings are of her country.

Kelly's paintings are of her country, especially of the

sand hills (Tali) around Mount Liebig. They are

usually done in white (sometimes, red or yellow)

dots on black background, presenting an almost

three-dimensional illusion of space and depth. 

Some rarer examples of her work are painted in two

colours (mainly white and red) on black background.

Today Lily Kelly Napangardi's art is recognised as

some of the most innovative in the contemporary

Aboriginal art scene. It is highly sought-after by

museums and private collectors worldwide.
