Eubena Nampitjin was born around 1921. She belongs to the Warlayirti artist community, and she speaks Wangkajunga and Kukatja languages.
Eubena Nampitjin was born at Tjinndjaldpa, south of Jupiter Well. She was one of six children. When she was very young she lost her mother, both her sisters and one brother. She lived with her family in the sandhills of the Canning Stock Route, travelling between Kunawarritji and Jila as far as Waladayilyu. Her country is Tjaalinu, to the south of Kukatja territory, and Yurunguny, east of the Canning Stock Route. It was here that she travelled extensively because of the many waterholes, billabongs and rockholes - prime water sources at different times of the year... She became an important artist when she first exhibited her work in 1988, and held her first solo exhibition at Alcaston Gallery in 1998.

I can't stand mindless purity - I have soaked myself in scepticism and am by nature magnetised to bitterness.

My work... needs time. Something that's seemingly fairly straight forward and self-explanatory actually is full of riddles... Incidental things speak to me.
