Distinguished and Famous people from West Daly
🧺 Regina Pilawuk Wilson
Regina Pilawuk Wilson helped establish Peppimenarti as a permanent community in 1973 and became a leading figure in its artistic life. A Ngan'gikurunggurr woman, she learned weaving from her mother and grandmother, later translating the structures of baskets, nets and other woven forms into painting. Fine repeated marks create surfaces that reward a close look. Her work received the general painting prize at the 2003 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards. The international exhibitions grew from skills, relationships and responsibilities firmly connected with home.
🎨 Annunciata Nunuk Wilson
Annunciata Nunuk Wilson, Regina Wilson's eldest daughter, developed her practice through Durrmu Arts at Peppimenarti. Her paintings draw on durrmu body-painting dots and colours associated with weaving dyes, including deep purple, ochre, black and red. Sun mats, basket stitches and merrepen leaves have also informed her designs. Printmaking workshops with Basil Hall in 2007 and 2009 extended that work into etching and collagraphs. A sun-mat painting entered the Colin and Elizabeth Laverty collection, carrying a distinctly local design tradition into a major private collection of Australian art.
🖌️ Carol Jimmy
Carol Jimmy was born in Darwin in 1972 and grew up on her mother's Country at Kalkarindji before moving to Peppimenarti in 2009. Her family connections include Gurindji and Mudburra language and cultural traditions, and her parents Biddy and Jimmy Wavehill were also artists. Before the move she worked in childcare and primary education at Kalkarindji. Her place among Durrmu Arts' artists shows how Peppimenarti's creative community includes people bringing experience from elsewhere in the Territory, alongside families with longer-standing local roots.
