Louise Numina
Louise is one of the renowned Numina sisters—an extraordinary family of artists whose bold, confident and vibrant works are cherished in homes across Australia and around the world. She is one of six sisters—Sharon, Selina, Caroline, Jacinta and Lanita—each celebrated in their own right as highly respected Aboriginal artists.
Louise, her sisters and two brothers were born to Barbara Pananka Price and the late Douglas Petyarre. Their artistic lineage runs deep: two of Douglas’ sisters, the internationally acclaimed artists Gloria and Kathleen Petyarre, passed down their knowledge, teaching their nieces the Bush Medicine Leaf ceremony (Aunty Gloria) and the Thorny Lizard Dreaming (Aunty Kathleen). The Numina sisters are also great-nieces to iconic artists Emily Kngwarreye and Kudditji Kngwarreye, and share connections with Minnie Pwerle and Ada Bird Petyarre—towering figures of the Utopia art movement that emerged in the Eastern Desert in the 1970s.
Louise spent her early schooling years at Stirling Station near Tennant Creek before attending Yirrara College in Alice Springs. After returning to Stirling Station, she worked with the local Community Development Program before moving to Darwin in 1995, where her career as an artist began to flourish. She later studied at Nungalinya College and holds a Diploma in Fine Arts.
Louise’s artwork has been exhibited widely across Australia. In 2017, her stunning Bush Medicine Leaf design was featured on a range of couture ‘resort wear’ by designer Pia du Pradal, launched at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Brisbane.

“Picked up my picture from the framers today and it is now on my bedroom wall. I absolutely love it. Thank you”
“Maria Nampijinpa Brown’s “Seven Sister’s Dreaming” painting arrived last week and is even more impressive than shown online. It’s vivid colors and traditional designs inspire me to learn about Aboriginal Art. I admire the symbolism of the sisters becoming the Pleiades Star Cluster to escape danger. How clever! I feel honored to display this wonderful art in my home.”
