Lily Sandover Kngwarreye (c1937-2001) of the Alyawarre people in the Central Desert region of Australia was an artist and a member of the Utopia artists' cooperative, Urapuntja Artists since around 1988. She worked in painting, printmaking and batiks and her works are in public collections around Australia including the collection of the Art Gallery of Western Australia, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.

Personal Life
She was the adopted sister of Australian artist Emily Kame Kngwarreye.

Personal Life[edit]
“From a young age, De Luca was made aware of the importance of a sustainable lifestyle, as modelled by her parents. “They came from Italy, and made do with things; recycling and composting. I am the third of four girls, and my mother used to make our clothes. There was always that kind of sensibility of using what you had and using it as much as you could.”

Work[edit]
"De Luca’s practice often involves salvaging plastics collected from her local beaches where she is based in Bondi. The plastics are then sorted and threaded using strings of wire into sculpture works that speaks to consumption, abundance, and waste."

In 2024 De Luca was the inaugural artist in residence at Orlebar Brown.

In 2022 De Luca contributed work to the artist's collective Project Vortex - Intercepting the Plastic Waste Stream.

Residencies[edit]
De Luca has been a finalist in a number of art prizes and has received artist-in-residence opportunities including the Gunyah Residency Program, NSW, and in 2022 undertook the Artist-in-Residence, Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf, NSW program.
