Born near Walawala in the Gibson Desert in Western Australia (c. 1932-2021), Naata Nungurrayi was the sister of George Tjungurrayi and is widely regarded as one of the leading women artists of the Western Desert. Throughout her career Nungurrayi has developed a distinctive colour palette primarily featuring white, reds, blacks, yellows, oranges and pinks. Her fine dots form bold lines to create the interconnecting lines of the tali (sandhills) of her Country, giving her paintings movement and form. The topographical view of Country in multiple layers of colour and designs gives a strong sense of the sandhills and evoke Nungurrayi’s deep cultural and geographical knowledge of her Country. Nungurrayi’s works identify specific water-soakage sites, including Marrapinti, a sacred waterhole west of Pollock Hills, and several sites around Kiwirrkurra, such as Wanku, Piti Kutjarra, Ngaripunkunya, Ngaminya and Wirrulnga. Nungurrayi is a well-respected artist and Elder whose paintings evoke the depth and beauty of her Country, culture and ancestral stories.
