Just to give you a little bit of background on the artist, Yukultji Napangati was one of the last original nomadic artists to make contact with white civilization and came to Kiwirrkura in 1984.
Prior to this she had been living with eight others of her immediate family in an area of country to the west of Lake Mackay, they were the last of the desert nomads to come out of the desert after leading a traditional life.
It was estimated that at the time her family came in to Kiwirrkura she was 14 years old.
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 at the prestigious Primavera show at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.
This is an invitational non-selling exhibition for young Australian artists under the age of thirty-five years. Since then she has been selected for the Telstra awards and many other important art prizes across Australia, exhibited extensively overseas and also been collected in all major museum and private collections which focus on Indigenous art..
