About Daisy Andrews
Daisy Andrews, (1934-2015) was an Australian Aboriginal artist originally from the Walmajarri desert tribe. She took up art later in life initially illustrating the personal stories of fellow community members and in 1991 Andrews began exhibiting her paintings in group and solo showings across Australia. She was known for her vividly red landscapes showcasing the mountain ranges of the Great Sandy Desert. In 1994, she received the main Telstra award from the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA) for her painting Lumpa Lumpa (wet time) landscape. Daisy Andrews' work is held in collections owned by the Australian National Gallery, the Museum and Gallery of Northern Territory, the Queensland Art Gallery, the Berndt Museum of Anthropology, the North Australian Research Unit, and the Karrayili Adult Education Centre. A tapestry version of one of her paintings hangs in the Australian Embassy in Tokyo, Japan. Daisy Andrews died in January 2015.
