Ningara Napurrula was born at Watulka, south of Kiwirrkurra, Western Australia c.1938. She is the widow of Yala Yala Gibbs Tjungurrayi (deceased) a highly respected Pintupi elder who held significant knowledge of his countries Dreaming stories. As did her husband, Ningara also paints for Papunya Tula Artists, graphically depicting, through the use of texture and imagery, the designs associated with the women’s ceremonies at a rockhole near Kiwirrkurra. One example of her Aboriginal Art was chosen in 2003 as a motif on an Australian stamp.
