ArtistPantjiya Nungurrayi was born c.1936 at Haasts Bluff, prior to the mission being established. Her first contact with Europeans was as a young girl, when she and her family met with men who were travelling by camel and distributing rations. During the latter part of the 70’s, Pantjiya lived with her family between Kungkiyunti Outstation, west of Haasts Bluff, and Papunya, before settling in Kintore soon after the community was established in the early 80’s. Pantjiya is the widow of George Tjangala a well known artist and early member of the Papunya Tula Artists. Pantjiya has five sons and three daughters, one of her sons is Raymond Maxwell Tjampitjinpa, who also paints for Papunya Tula Artists. Pantjiya Nungurrayi only began painting in the mid nineties painting a very distinctive style using the three traditional colours of black, white and yellow ochre. |
