Janet Golder Kngwarreye

Janet Golder Kngwarreye is an Anmatyerre painter from Alhalkere (Boundary Bore) in the Utopia region of the Northern Territory. She was taught to paint in Alice Springs by her grandfather Kudditji Kngwarreye and her grandmother Polly Ngale - both celebrated artists. Emily Kame Kngwarreye, one of the most significant painters in Australian art history, was Kudditji's older sister and Janet's family.

Janet developed her own distinctive style - fine layered dot work depicting My Country, women's ceremony, bush tucker and the features of the Utopia landscape. Her work has been commissioned for significant public projects in Alice Springs including Coles and Bendigo Bank. Her sister Belinda Golder Kngwarreye, Katrina Bird Golder and Rochelle Bird Mbitjana have all learned to paint from Janet, continuing the artistic lineage of Alhalkere country.
