Lilly Penangk Stafford - Inkwareny Artists

Lilly portrait

Lilly was born in Coniston in approximately 1950. Her mother was Topsy Nampijinpa Stockman, born in Ngalikirlangu, on Anmatyerr and Warlpiri country. Lilly’s mother’s Dreaming is Katyerr (bush raisin). Lilly has three brothers and five sisters.

Lilly’s main Dreaming is Inkwareny Anengkerr, the Honey Ant Dreaming. The Anengkerr places for this Dreaming are located in Inkwareny and Yuelamu. Only women have access to ceremonial sites.

Lilly and Daisy Penengk are owners of the Inkwareny Anengkerr. The artist Alison Ngal Daniels is one of the guardians of this Dreaming, as well as Elsie Mpetyan from Arangki (Ten Mile).

My Lovely Daisy, You’re always ready in the morning to come to the art center.
The community of Yuelamu at the moment is really quiet between the Easter holidays …

We are preparing an exhibition in April in Hepburn, Victoria.
We went bush shopping with Lisa Mpetyan Cook and Elsie Mpetyan Moore.
It’s always a pure joy to find objects to recycle. The artists love it and they are very creative in recycling these objects.

My sweet, beautiful Daisy Pengard Frank. Every morning, she waits impatiently for someone to pick her up from her home. She transmits this joy to us on canvas because her color palette is always very juicy. I love your colors, Daisy thank you so much to joining us every day 🥰👏🏼
