Label Text:Ningura Napurrula was born at Watulka, south of the Kiwirrkura Community, circa 1938. She completed her first paintings for Papunya Tula Artists in 1996 and was exhibited that same year. ln 1999 Ningura contributed to the Kintore women's painting as part of the Western Desert Dialysis Appeal. Later in 2003 she was chosen along with four other Papunya Tula Artists to have one of her paintings represented on an Australia Post international stamp.
In 2004 Ningura was one of eight Aboriginal artists selected to have an example of their work incorporated into the architecture of the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris. This museum opened in June 2006 and houses a collection of art from Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas.
