Kutungka Napanangka was born near Kintore circa 1950. Her family moved to Haasts Bluff when she was in her lat teens. Kutungka, Walangkura Napanangka and the late Pirrmangka Napanangka all share the same father, Raatja Tjapangati. Her mother, Katjarra Nampitjinpa, also painted for the company before painting more regularly with Ikuntji Artists at Haasts Bluff. Raatja Tjapangati’s second wife, Inyuwa Nampitjinpa was Kutungka Napanangka’s second mother and became very well known following a brief career spanning from 1996 to 1999. Kutungka started painting for Papunya Tula Artists in 2005.
