Old Days | Author: Marjorie Nunga Williams

Old Days depicts the author's childhood memories while spending her time between Iwupataka (Jay Creek) and Ntaria (Hermannsburg), as well as frequently visiting Tempe Downs, her mother's Country. Her vibrant artwork brings her memories to life and include animals and birds soaring eagles, goannas, echidnas and horses as well as Elders on Country, Hermansburg mission days, play and of course fishing and picnicking. They are all brought to the forefront of her expansive landscapes.

Marjorie Nunga Williams is a senior Western Arrernte woman. She was born in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) in 1953, where she lives today. Marjorie paints with Tangentyere Artists. She is a proud grandmother, Western Arrernte language teacher and member of the Central Australian Women's choir, travelling internationally to perform.  Her works have been exhibited widely across the Northern Territory and in 2019 was invited to an artist residency program at Mulgara Gallery, Voyages, Yulara.
