Michelle
Possum's mother was Emily Nakamarra Possum, a Lurritja woman, and
her father is Clifford Possum Tjapaljarri, one of the most renowned
of the founding group of Papunya painters. She was raised on a local
Station called Napperby.
Michelle Possum first exhibited with her father and sister Gabrielle
Possum in Brisbane in 1987 and again at Coo-ee Gallery in Sydney in
1992. Her work has obviously been influenced by her father Clifford
Possum who is renowned for his brilliant manipulation of three dimensional
space. Both her father’s work and her own work have strong figurative
elements which stand out from the highly descriptive background, dotting
is always used to depict the topography of the country.
Her Dreamings include bush coconut, black seed, exploding seed pod, seven sisters and women’s stories from the Mt. Allan area.
subjects and themes
Women’s stories from Yuelamu, goanna Dreaming, seven sisters, bush coconut, black seed, exploding seed pod.

Secondary
Market:
Our 'Secondary Market Range' comprises one, sometimes
two prints from an edition that is no longer in general
distribution. They are hard to come by, secondary market
prints that sold out years, and in some cases, decades
ago. Many are rare, eminently collectable works by some
of the most senior and acclaimed Aboriginal artists.
