Anyupa Nelson

Anyupa Nelson was born around 1968 in Pipalyatjara to Angampa Martin, a renowned Irrunytju artist. Anyupa lives in Pipalyatjara with her husband and across the road from her sister Angela Watson. They sit together every day in the studio. They shares the songlines of Minyma Kutjara, of two women travelling alone who are looking for fresh 'kapi' (water). Along their travels they have to escape the advances of a ‘wati’ (man) who stalks them. Anyupas work depicts..tbc. Anyupas meticulouse designs continuously generate her tjukurpa with mesmerising slightly shifting repetitions that tell different moments of the story. She started painting in 2016 and is going from strength to strength. 'I paint to support my family' she says, which includes her grandchildren.
