Linda Yunkata Syddick Napaltjarri (born c. 1937) is a Pintupi- and Pitjantjatjara- speaking Indigenous artist from Australia's Western Desert region. Her father was killed when she was young her mother later married Shorty Lungkarta Tjungarrayi an artist whose work was a significant influence on Linda Syddick's painting. Linda Syddick was one of many Western Desert women who took up painting in the early 1990s as part of a broader contemporary Indigenous Australian art movement. She began painting some time prior to 1991 when her work was first exhibited in Alice Springs. Her work includes a distinctive fusion of Christian and Aboriginal traditional themes and motifs. She has been a finalist in the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Awards on at least four occasions, and in the Blake Prize (a religious art competition) at least three times.
