Biography
Born 7th November 1969, of the Pitjantjatjara language group. Yipli was born at the Mission hospital at Ernabella. Her mother, Tjulkiwa Atira-Atira, is from Wataru (Mt Lindsay). Her father, Michael Atira-Atira , was born near Ernabella. Both are Pitjantjatjara speakers now living on a homeland settlement at Pukatja. Yilpi attended Ernabella School. She is now married, and has one daughter Nyukana. Yilpi began working in the batik workshop at Ernabella Arts in 1988. In July 1989 she sold her painting in Desert Impressions , the Australian Conservation Foundation’s exhibition at the Friends of the Earth Gallery in Melbourne. In November 1989, she was a featured artist in Ernabella Arts’ exhibition Wirujuta at the Araluen Arts Centre Alice Springs. Yilpi’s acrylic paintings show the same rapid refinement of the technical aspects as is evident in her work in other media such as batik scarves, where she also experiments with varied combinations of lines, shapes and colours.
