Born: c1946
Language: Pintupi
Region: Walungurru Kintore NT

Walangkura began her painting practice in 1995 through a collaborative canvas project between the Kintore and Haasts Bluff communities titled 'Minyma Tjukurrpa'. Walangkura later went on to depict the story of the ‘devil devil’ woman, who kills and eats people whilst journeying from the west. Important landscape sites, including rock holes, sand hills and underground caves are also depicted in her works. Walangkura has exhibited extensively, including in the landmark show 'Papunya Tula: Genesis and Genius' held in 2000 at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney. Her works are held in private, corporate and public collections.
