Naata Nungurrayi

Naata Nungurrayi was born c. 1932 in the area of Pollock Hills, Western Australia.

Naata commenced painting for Papunya Tula Artists in 1996. She lives in Walungurru and often paints together with her younger sister, Nancy Nungurrayi, also an artist, for Papunya Tula.

In 1999, Naata, her sister Nancy, and eight other women from Walungurru, collaborated on a large canvas, which was subsequently exhibited, at the Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney.

Naata's depictions include the Marrapinti rock hole site. In 2003 Naata's painting was used as a motif on an Australian stamp.
