• Notes:
  Pantjiya Nungurrayi was born at Haasts Bluff, prior to the mission being established. Her first contact with Europeans was as a young girl, when she & her family met with men who were travelling by camel & distributing rations. During the latter part of the 1970’s, Pantjiya lived with her family between Kungkiyunti Outstation, west of Haasts Bluff, & Papunya, before settling in Kintore soon after the community was established in the early 1980’s. Pantjiya is the widow of George Tjangala, a well known artist & early member of the Papunya Tula Artists. Pantjiya has five sons & three daughters, one of her sons is Raymond Maxwell Tjampitjinpa, who also paints for Papunya Tula Artists. Pantjiya Nungurrayi only began painting in the mid 1990s, painting a very distinctive style using the three traditional colours of black, white & yellow ochre.
