About the Artist: Narputta Nangala was born c 1933 at Karrkurutinytja (Lake MacDonald). When very young she was completely nomadic with her Pintupi family. Her father, Tjalakuny, brought Narputta and her brother in from the desert to Haasts Bluff, and then returned to nomadic life.
Narputta’s husband, Timmy Jugadai, was head stockman at Haasts Bluff and became a prominent Papunya Tula artist.
Narputta began painting her father’s country around Lake MacDonald in 1992 and became one of the first women artists to commence solo painting. She won the National Aboriginal Art Award in Darwin in 1997 and major Australian galleries and museums, including the National Art Gallery of Australia, Canberra; National Art Gallery of Victoria; Qld. Art Gallery; Art Gallery of South Australian and the Darwin Art Gallery, hold her work.
