I found this article about Arnhem Land bark painter, Kay Lindjuwanga, whilst casually perusing my weekend newspaper. The article outlines her artistic family - her husband, John Maningrida, is famous for his use of rarrk or crosshatching, and her father, brothers, and daughter have all been influential practicing artists. Lindjuwanga won the Telstra prize in 2004 for her bark paintings, which are described as "lyrical...very fine in detail".
The article was pretty vague, but I thought it was nice, quick introduction to Lindjuwanga's art.
