Pantjiya Nungurrayi was born in the bush near Haasts Bluff circa, prior to the mission being established. Her first contact with Europeans was a young girl, when she and her family met with men who were travelling by camel and distributing rations.
 
During the Government relocation Pantjiya moved from Haast Bluff to Papunya and married George Maxwell Tjangala (Jangala), a well known artist who also painted for Papunya Tula Artists. Together they had five sons and three daughters. Following the death of her husband, Pantjiya returned to her traditional homeland of Kiwirrkurra.
 
Pantjiya Nungurrayi only began painting in the mid nineties, working for Papunya Tula Artists since 1996, painting a very distinctive style using the three traditional colours of black, white and yellow ochre. 
 
Pantjiya Nungurrayi's work is widely and continuously exhibited worldwide and is highly collectable.
