About the Painting - Snake Dreaming
Snakes are indigenous to all parts of Australia and feature strongly in the Creation stories held by Janet Forrester. The snake has been used as a symbol of strength, creativity and continuity since ancient times across many societies
Janet Forrester Ngala is a Luritja speaker who began painting in the late 1980's with the Jukurrpa (Dreaming) group, based in Alice Springs. She lives in Alice Springs but from time to time stays in her father's country Ernabella. Her work was included in a major exhibition of the Jukurrpa artists at the Araluen Arts Centre, Alice Springs in 1989 and in several subsequent shows (including Desert Dreamings, Grand Hyatt, Jakarta, 1992).
She was also featured in an exhibition in 1996 in Bruise, Belgium.
In the past few years, she has mainly sold her work through Aboriginal Desert Art Gallery in Alice Springs and in galleries located in the major capitals of Australia. The National Gallery of Australia and collectors from New York, Philadelphia, England, Switzerland, Germany, Rome and Indonesia have acquired her works.
