Yukultji Napangati

Yukultji Napangati, born circa 1969 is from the Pintubi Tribe. She is the sister to respected artist Walimpirringa. She was living with eight members of her immediate family in an area of country to the west of Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay). They were the last of the desert nomads to come out of the desert in 1984 after leading a traditional life.

She is married to respected artist Charlie Ward and is a leading Papunya Tula artist whose artworks are sought after by collectors worldwide and has been painting since 1992. In 1999 Yukultji contributed to the Kiwirrkura women’s painting as part of the Western Desert Dialysis Appeal, and in 2005 she was selected as one of nine artists to exhibit in Primavera at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney.
