As a child, Naminapu Maymuru-White spent hours watching her father Narritjin, an artist known in Australia and abroad and who encouraged her to start her career at just twelve years of age, paint. She was one of the first women who was taught to paint sacred subjects by working with linoleum, producing serigraphs, woodcuts and collages with a strong material component, works of unbridled and fluid power which have been exhibited in various collective exhibitions in Australia and abroad.
