Molly (Maluya) Jugadai Napaltjarri paints depictions of her country west of Alice Springs in Central Australia. 

In her dreaming story the Napaltjarri sisters descend from the seven sister’s constellation in the sky, at evening time. They represent the first people on earth.

As they fall, dew collects on the grass and makes the flowers and bush tucker grow. The sisters roam the earth every night collecting bush foods amid the vegetation of the desert.
