Willy Tjungurrayi
Willy Tjungurrayi was born at Patjantja, south west of Lake Mackay around 1930. He is the younger brother of Yala Yala Gibbs Tjungarrayi, as well as the older brother of George Tjungurrayi. In the 1980s Willy emerged as one of the senior Pintupi painters. He paints stories linked to the Tingari Song Cycles relating to these places. The artist's senior position in his community entitles him to paint the most significant and secret parts of the Tingari stories, many of which cannot be revealed to the uninitiated.
