Yinarupa is the daughter of the artist Anatjari Tjampitjinpa, a former shareholder of Papunya Tula Artists who is now deceased.

She was born circa 1958 in the vicinity of Mukula west of Kiwirrkura in Western Australia and appears as a small child in the book ‘The Lizard Eaters’.

Her sister Mantua Nangala and brother Ray James Tjangala are also in the book.

She was married to Yala Yala Gibbs Tjungurrayi, who was also an artist and shareholder who passed away in December 1998.

In 1999 Yinarupa contributed to the Kiwirrkura women’s painting as part of the Western Desert Dialysis Appeal and in recent years has become one of the most collectable artists of the Papunya Tula cooperative.

Yinarupa started to show work in group shows in the early 2000’s, culminating in a solo in 2007 and in 2009 she won the General Painting Award at the 26th National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award and the following year was an honourable mention at the 36th Alice Prize, Araluen Art Centre, Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia.

She is now collected in all the major Aboriginal Museum collections and is also in many private collections both domestically in Australia and internationally!.
