Tjaparti Bates, also known as Kanytjuri, was born at Yinunmaru near Wanarn in the east Gibson desert, Western Australia. Her family walked the areas around Wanarn and Lake Christopher to the East. A Ngaanyatjarra language speaker, Tjapartji's skin group is Karimarra.
She moved to Warburton with her first husband during mission time but left when he passed away, travelling with her two children to the mission at Laverton. Tjapartji later returned to Warburton where she began to paint with the Warburton Arts project in the early 1990s and worked in various mediums including glass and felt until the late 1990's when she relocated to Wanarn with her second husband.
An outstanding painter, she produced 21 canvases for the Warburton Acrylic Collection, some of which were included in the Yarnangu Ngaanya: Our land Our Body exhibition at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art and S.H. Ervin Gallery, Sydney, in 1993.
In 1995, the artist began to work in the glass medium, producing a number of platters and then working on panels for inclusion in the Warburton Cultural Centre planned to open in 2001. In 1998 she was the winner of the Normandy Heritage Art Prize, the Fourth National Indigenous Art Award.
The raised linear designs in the translucent surface of the slumped glass are in contrast to those of her canvases in which colour and dottng are much to
the fore.
Tjapartji began painting with Warakurna Artists in 2005 as part of the Wanarn Aged Care painting program. In her lifetime, she created stand-out painngs portraying important Ngaanyatjarra stories from her Mother's and Father's country around Wanarn and Warburton.
