George Tjungurrayi was born circa 1947 and commenced painting in Papunya about 1976 for Papunya Tula artists. He is the younger brother of the very well-known Aboriginal artist, Willy Tjungurrayi. His paintings most often represent specific sacred sites located in his ancestral country associated with Tingari ancestors which were created throughout the "Tjukurrpa" or Dreamtime.
