Nyurapayia Nampitjinpa - also known as Mrs. Bennett - was born around 1935 in Yumara, Western Australia. During her life, Mrs. Bennett lived in Kintore. She was married to the late John John Tjapangati, a Pintupi speaker from Mukulurru, also north of Docker River. Mrs. Bennett started painting in the mid 1990s. Together with Naata Nungurrayi she was an important participant in a collaboration project on canvas between female painters of Kintore and related women from the center of Ikuntji Bluff entitled ‘Minyma Tjukurrpa.’ Gradually Mrs. Bennett developed a free and original style that differs from most painters of Kintore who prefer a more precise ‘dot-painting’ method. Mrs. Bennett mostly works with strong contrasts through the use of blacks and pale yellow/ cream hues set against a red/brown background. Often her work depicts the gathering of traditional ’bush’ food and the rituals associated with their preparation in and around the rockhole site of Pangkupirri. The depictions of the typical sand dune landscape and the surrounding rocky outcrops show a great deal of resemblance to the patterns used for body painting women applied during the ceremonial dance referred to as Inma. Mrs. Bennet passed away in January 2013.
