Lily Kelly Napangardi is an Aboriginal artist born c1948, in the remote Central Australian desert. She is a senior law woman and a custodian over the women's dreaming stories and sites of her traditional homelands and has been named as one of Australia's 50 most collectable artists.
Tali' translates to Sandhill' or Country' and the relationship with the landscape holds a place of significance for Aboriginal people. Lily Kelly Napangardi's visual narrative evokes the ephemeral nature of the ever-changing desert sands, moved by the winds and rains in this harsh interior landscape.

It is a visual dialogue that continues to be utilised as artists interpret country and visually narrate their explanations of land and its importance to them.
