The Artist

Hilda Nakamarra Rogers

Born: 1969

Language: Pintupi

Country: Kintore & Yuendumu

Hilda Nakamarra Rogers was born in Papunya, an Aboriginal community
located 240 km northwest of Alice Springs in the NT of Australia. She
attended her local school in Papunya before going to Yirara College in
Alice Springs. After college she returned to Papunya and worked at the
school teaching language.

Hilda married a man from Yuendumu in 1987 and
moved to Yuendumu, a neighbouring community to Papunya where many of the
same families live. Later she moved to Nyirripi, a remote Aboriginal
community approximately 160 km west of Yuendumu where she still lives.


She is married to Desmond Williams and they have two sons, Micah and
Eliezer. She also has a granddaughter who Hilda enjoys looking after.
Both her parents are deceased and were artists at Papunya. As a child
she watched her parents paint and listened to their stories.

Hilda started painting in 1988 and since 2003 has begun painting consistently
with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation, an Aboriginal owned
and governed art centre in Yuendumu. Hilda paints Bush tucker stories,
in particular Ngurlu Jukurrpa (Native Seed Dreaming). Occasionally she
paints her husband’s dreaming, Yurrumpi Jukurrpa (Honey Ant Dreaming)
and her father’s dreaming, Ngapa Jukurrpa (Water Dreaming), Dreamings
which have been passed down through the generations for millennia.

She likes sport and sometimes goes hunting for goanna and kangaroo and
looking for bush tucker. She also enjoys visiting her husband’s family
who live in Yuendumu.
