About the Artist – Nyrulla Possum Burns

Nyrulla Possum Burns is a proud Indigenous artist and the daughter of Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi, one of Australia’s most celebrated First Nations artists. Her family has a strong artistic legacy - Nyrulla is also the granddaughter of the iconic Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri and Emily Nakamarra Possum, a respected Luritja woman.

From a young age, Nyrulla painted alongside her mother, learning both the cultural knowledge and storytelling that guide her work. Her paintings are known for their precision and cultural depth, and her Seven Sisters Dreaming pieces are highly sought after across the world.

The Seven Sisters Dreaming is a powerful story passed down through her grandmothers and mothers, and Nyrulla continues to paint it with respect and care.

Today, Nyrulla lives and works in Melbourne, close to her family, continuing a tradition of art that speaks to Country, culture, and kinship.
