Makinti Napanangka.

Makinti Napanangka was born in circa 1930. She was a Pintupi-speaking Indigenous Australian artist from Australia's Western Desert region. She lived in the communities of Haasts Bluff, Papunya, and later at Kintore, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) north-east of the Lake MacDonald region where she was born, on the border of the Northern Territory and Western Australia.

Makinti Napanangka began painting at Kintore in the mid-1990s, encouraged by a community art project. A finalist in the 2003 Clemenger Contemporary Art Award, Makinti won the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award in 2008.

Working in synthetic polymer on linen or canvas, Makinti's paintings primarily take as their subjects a rockhole site, Lupul, and a dreaming about two sisters, known as Kungka Kutjarra. he was a member of the Papunya Tula Artists Cooperative, but her work has been described as more spontaneous than that of her fellow Papunya Tula artists.

Physically tiny yet robust and strong,[14][20] Kumentje was described as "a charmer and an irascible character", with an infectious smile.[14] She died in Alice Springs in January 2011.
