Lucky Morton with her work
Lucky Morton Kngwarray Ngwarai born around 1951, is a dynamic force in Australian modern art. Lucky Kngwarreye Morton is a self-motivated aboriginal woman of the Anmatjerra Tribe, North East of Alice Springs, Utopia, Northern Territory. She is a member of the famous Kngwarreye family clan, including international artist Emily Kngwarreye. Lucky is recognised for her traditional women’s stories and she also paints with her sister Sarah Kngwarreye, in a naive style about the British Invasion. Lucky Morton Kngwarreye depicts Awelye, the ceremonial body paint design associated with her country Ngkwarlerlaneme. The diamond-shaped motifs represent the design used by women during ceremonies. The women paint these motifs on their chest, breast, shoulders and upper arms using powdered natural pigments.

Lucky has featured in many group exhibitions since beginning her artistic career in 1977. The oldest daughter of fellow Utopian artist Mary Moron Kemarre, Lucky participated in batik workshops that were held in Utopia from 1977 to 1987 with her mother and younger siblings. Her work is represented in the Holmes a Court Collection which was exhibited extensively within Australia and abroad. Like most other batik artists living in Utopia, Lucky made the transition to painting in the summer of 1988-9 as part of CAAMA’s ‘The First works on Canvas, a Summer Project’.
