  Barrupu Yunupingu is a sister to Gulumbu and
  NyapanyapaYunupingu, both award winning artists.
  Her brothers Galarrwuy and Mandawuy are each
  Australians of the a Year. Her father Munggurrawuy is
  known as a major artist and land rights activist of the
  1960s and 70s. Her style is the closest of his children
  to that which he employed. This cross current of the
  Gumatj clan flame design belongs to the second season
  of her major bark work. Although she has only had
  two exhibitions so far (at Raft Artspace and Alcaston
  Gallery) she is already in the National Gallery of
  Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and Art Gallery
  of New South Wales Collections.
