Bambatu Napangardi was born in 1940 at Winron, which is located in Western Australia to the east of Kirrwikurra. She gained her passion for painting as the wife of Dinni Campbell, who had been painting with Uta Uta Tjangala for Papunya Tula Artists for many years. Bambatu would assist Dinni in his artistic practice before coming into her own with her depictions of women’s business from her home country. The stories she depicts were handed onto her from her mother and she often portrays women’s ceremony at Winron using a network of straight lines and dots.
