Biography
Nyurapayia Nampitjinpa, also known as Mrs Bennett, was a distinguished Aboriginal artist born around 1935 at Yumara, in the remote desert region north of Docker River, Western Australia. She was a member of the Pintupi people and grew up living a traditional, nomadic lifestyle deeply rooted in the Tjukurrpa (Dreaming) and ceremonial practices of her ancestors. She came into contact with the Western world only in her teenage years.
She later settled in Kintore with her husband, John Bennett Tjapangati, himself a respected artist and an early member of the Papunya Tula art movement that began in the 1970s.
Mrs Bennett began painting in the early 1990s, relatively late in life, yet she quickly gained critical acclaim. In 1994, she participated in a major women’s painting project that brought together artists from Haasts Bluff and Kintore. The project culminated in the 1995 exhibition "Minyma Tjukurrpa" at the Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute.
Her artworks are known for their strong visual presence, using concentric designs, bold patterns, and vibrant color to depict sacred women's ceremonies and the landscapes of her Country—particularly the sites of Yumarra, Wantjunga, and Tjalilli. Her work reflects a deep cultural and spiritual connection to the land.
Mrs Bennett's paintings are held in many prestigious collections, including:
National Gallery of Australia
Art Gallery of New South Wales
National Gallery of Victoria
National Museum of Australia
In 2001, she was listed among Australia's 50 most collectable artists by Australian Art Collector magazine.
Nyurapayia Nampitjinpa passed away on 28 January 2013 near Punkilpirri, a sacred site associated with her Dreaming stories. Her legacy continues to influence contemporary Indigenous art and remains a vital link to the rich cultural heritage of the Western Desert.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Amelia was born in Cincinnati in 1962 and stayed in the area until 1996 when she moved to Colorado. Amelia attended the Arts Academy of Cincinnati and the University of Cincinnati.
