Yalti Napangati Pintupi, b. 1970

A member of 'The Last Nomads', who did not have contact with Western civilisation until late 1984, Yalti Napangati has since become an accredited painter, who in 1999, contributed to the Kiwirrkura womens’ painting as part of the Western Desert Dialysis Appeal.

Napangati was born around 1970 in the Gibson Desert. She is a member of a small group now coined 'The Last Nomads'; considered to be the last family group of the Pintupi to move in from the desert and their traditional life to contact with western ways in 1984. Of this group are other esteemed painters; her sister Yukultji Napangati, the well known artist who paints for the Papunya Tula Artist group, as well as Walala Tjapaltjarri, Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri and Thomas Tjapaltjarri. Yalti now lives and paints in Kiwirrkurra.
