Alicka paints with the internationally acclaimed Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation at Yuendumu.
She is the daughter of artist Maria Nampijinpa Brown and the granddaughter of respected artist Wendy Nungarrayi Brown. Her sister, Antoinette Napanangka Brown, also paints with Warlukurlangu Artists.
Growing up within a family of artists, Alicka developed a strong grounding in painting by watching her family work and listening to the ancestral stories passed down to her from childhood.
Through her art, Alicka continues this rich family tradition, sharing important stories connected to Country, bush foods and Warlpiri cultural knowledge.
