BIO

Wintjiya Napaltjarri's assertive personality and sense of place assures her a respected position amongst the women painters of Kintore. As one of her community's esteemed elders, she remains a proud cultural authority, renowned hunter and generous provider for her family.

Her early pastel coloured works have gradually been refined to bold, iconic marks that provide a vivid narrative of the ceremonies of ancestral women at her beloved Watanuma. Wintjiya's work is a celebration of her culture, knowledge and self. - Luke Scholes
