Tribe: Pintupi
Born: c. 1944
Nyanyuma Napangati was born around 1944 in Kiwirkurra, Western Australia. She is the sister of painter Charlie Tjapangati. Nanyuma Napangati began painting for Papunya Tula Artists in 1990.
In 1999, Nanyuma was one of the artists involved in the Kiwirrkurra Women's Painting project, which was auctioned to raise money for the Renal Unit at Kintore, an Aboriginal Community in the Western Desert. Nanyuma Napangati is a Pintupi senior law woman and depicts designs associated with women's ceremonies.
The 'U' shapes in this painting represent a group of women who have gathered at the rock hole site in Tjintulakanpunya, west of the Kiwirrkura Community. The women later travelled towards the east passing through Wala Wala, Kiwirrukura and Wirrulngya.
