Anyupa Stevens

Anyupa was born in the bush at a homeland called Double Tank near Fregon in 1981. Her father's country is Piltati, an important waterhole close to Nyapari Community and a strong theme in her work. Her mother's place is Aeronga in the Northern Territory. She lived at Nyapari with her husband and three children, but she is temporarily residing in Fregon, coming back to stay for short periods on her homelands Nyapari. Her grandmother is the late Kunmanara (Eileen Yaritja) Stevens, who she draws her inspiration from. Anyupa's paintings draw from memories of the trips to country she made with her grandmother as a child.
