Biographics
Birthdate: ca. 1948
Language Group: Luritja/Warlpiri
Pansy Napangati was born in Haasts Bluff and can remember being taught as a child, by her grandparents, about the many jukurrpas and being shown by means of sand drawings the way to represent them in designs. Around 1960 she moved to Papunya area, where she had contact with, among other artists, the later very famous Johnny Warangkula Tjupurrula and Kaapa Tjampitjinpa. She watched them at work, but developed a very different style, working at first on paper and creating collage from seeds which were otherwise used in jewellery. When the new art movement started at the beginning of the 70´s, she was one of the few women artists active from the beginning. However, she interupted her work after five years, to return to it in 1983. In 1989 she won the prestigious National Aborig-inal Art Award - the second female artist to do so.
