Ningura Napurrula was born at Watulka, south of the Kiwirrkura Community, near Alice Springs. She was married to Yala Yala Gibbs Tjungurrayi and was amongst those Pintupi people who walked into Papunya in the early years of settlement.
In 1996 she was part of a group of elderly women from Kintore and Kiwirrkura who began painting for Papunya Tula Artists in their own right. Characteristic of her work is a strong dynamism and rich linear design-compositions created with heavy layers of acrylic paint.
