Sunset Seven Sisters

Khatija Possum, born in 1989 in Alice Springs, is an Anmatyerre artist and the granddaughter of legendary Aboriginal painter Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri and daughter of artist Michelle Possum Nungurrayi. Growing up surrounded by art, she learned to paint from her mother and now continues her family’s cultural storytelling through her vibrant works. Khatija’s paintings often depict Dreaming stories such as the Seven Sisters Dreaming and My Grandmother’s Country, showing women’s ceremonies, gathering sites, and the connection between people and land. Her style combines traditional Aboriginal symbols like concentric circles and dots with bold, modern colours, creating striking pieces that celebrate and preserve her heritage. Based in Victoria, Khatija is recognised as a leading contemporary Indigenous artist whose work bridges generations and keeps her ancestors’ stories alive through art.
