Biographics


Birthdate: ca. 1927
Language Group: Luritja/Pertame
 
Bessie Liddle was born in 1927 in Middleton Ponds, southwest of Alice Springs. She can still remember how her grandparents taught her about tjukurrpa and illustrated it with paintings in the sand. This was the way Audrey Morton Kngwarreye learned the history of her people and her tjukurrpas, which inspire her artworks. She began painting in 1987.
