Lily Kelly Napangardi is a senior law woman of the Watiyawanu community in the Haasts Bluff area of the Northern Territory, 325 kilometres north–west of Alice Springs. She holds authority over the Woman’s Dreaming story associated with Kunajarrayi, and her paintings are made up of fine dots and dashes depicting her country’s sand hills; its winds, rainfall and desert environment.

The highest price achieved for one of her paintings was at Sotheby’s in Melbourne in July, 2007 for “Sandhills around Mt Leibig” for $39,600 dollars. In 2006 Australian Art Collector Magazine: issue # 35, listed Lily Kelly Napangardi as one of the 50  most collectable artists in the country.
