Nancy Long Artist Nancy Long was born in Ali Curung, and went to school in Ali Curung. She started painting around the year 2000, joining her mother J Long Nampijinpa at the Ali Curung Women's centre.
More recently, Nancy has developed a practice alongside her sister Rene. It develops on the late paintings of their late mother, depicting Pereltye, a native bush lolly. They sometimes work alone and sometimes in collaboration with each other.
The collaborative practice has garnered some acclaim, winning the Emerging category in the 2024 Ravenswood Australian Women's Art Prize and being highly commended in the 2024 National Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Art Awards.
Nancy has artworks in the collections of Ravenswood Girl's School, University of Melbourne and the Museum and Gallery of the Northern Territory.
