Narabri Nakamarra
ABOUT
TJUKURPA ART GALLERY
Specialising in Aboriginal Fine Art
Narabri Nakamarra was born in Haasts Bluff c.1950. She is the daughter of the famous Papunya Tula
artist Makinti Napanangka, who moved her family to Papunya. Narabri is an emerging artist who
commenced painting in 1999. She lived at Kintore with her husband Hilary Tjapaltjarri and family.
As a young child, Narabri was exposed to painting, not only to her mother's style but also to other
artists from Kintore. Narabri's style of art was quite different from that of her mother's and generally
reflects her country around Kintore.
Sadly Narabri passed away in June 2010
