Information about the artist - 

June Sultan Napanga was born in 1954 at Neutral Junction, near Barrow Creek in Central Australia. She is a Kaytetye speaker.

June began painting in the 1980’s after her brother Reg Sultan, as accomplished artist encouraged her to do so. June is an independent artist who takes extreme pride in her artwork. Her paintings are known for their precision for detail. Her paintings all depict traditional bush tucker themes which are associated with Aboriginal culture. June is not afraid to use bright colours such as pinks and blues for her backgrounds, creating an interesting mix of traditional depictions with modern colours. June’s artworks have been very helpful to schools and educational programs in teaching children about traditional aboriginal food sources and aboriginal iconography.

June currently lives in Alice Springs with her children. She continues to paint as a hobby and source of income for her family. She continues to be in control of her artwork and career.
