Kalumburu artist Lily Karadada (1921-) has been a prolific painter of the Wandjina images from her ancestral country around the Prince Regent River area in the north west corner of the Kimberley. Still painting occasionally well into her 80s, Lily Karadada has become closely associated with the Wandjina painting tradition of Kalumburu. The area where Lily Karadada was born, around the Mitchell Plateau, is rich with the ancient rock art sites depicting Wandjina and the more ancient Gwion Gwion totemic figures.
The Wandjina spirit embodies the Creation story and is the Rain spirit for the Kimberley region. His great powers bring the seasonal cyclonic rains that renew the land and ensure the regeneration of the wildlife. Lily Karadada paints the Wandjina figure as a compact and squat image, less elongated that many other representations. Lily Karadada regularly includes other totemic animals associated with her country, into her paintings.
Lily Karadada has painted using the traditional ochre pigments on a range of materials – on bark and on canvas, on wooden artefacts and traditional bark buckets and water carriers. Lily Karadada has been a significant representative of her culture and her legacy is carried on by other members of her family group. Aboriginal art status – Iconic artist.
Lily was awarded the Australian Centenary Medal for Contribution to Art in 2003.
