Tuppy Ngintja Goodwin (born c.1952) is an Aboriginal Australian artist from South Australia. She is a painter, and director of Mimili Maku Arts.

Early life[edit]

Goodwin is a Pitjantjatjara woman from Mimili in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands in the remote north-west of South Australia.[1] She was born in Bumbali Creek (her father's Country) and she came to Mimili as a baby, when it was still a cattle station called Everard Park.[1] A number of her siblings are also artists, including Robin Kankapankatja and Margaret Dodd.[2]

Career[edit]

Goodwin spent much of her life working at the Mimili Anangu School as a pre-school teacher and retired in 2009.[3]

Art practice[edit]

Goodwin is a painter working with Mimili Maku Arts where she is a director and, through her work and dance, is committed to fostering traditional law and culture.[1]

She has been painting with Mimili Maku Arts since 2010 and, like many others at the centre, paints her Tjukurrpa (Dreaming). Her work has a particular focus on Antara, a sacred rockhole at Bumbali Creek and a site where the women of the area perform inmaku pakani; a dance ceremony where the women would paint their bodies in red ochre. Goodwin also paints Tjala (Honey Ant) Dreaming[3][4]

Goodwin's paintings have a distinct style that has resulted in great success, with fluid brushstrokes overlaying solid masses of colour that bring texture to the canvas.[2][5]

Recognition[edit]

Goodwin was a finalist in the 2010 Telstra Aboriginal and Torres Strait Art Awards held in Darwin, Northern Territory.[6]

In 2020 her acrylic paintingonlinen, Antara (2018), was a finalist in the John Leslie Art PrizeatGippsland Art GalleryinSale, Victoria.[7]

In 2023, Antara (2022), a large painting using synthetic polymer on linen, won the A$50,000 Arthur Guy Memorial Painting PrizeatBendigo Art Gallery.[8]

Collections[edit]

Goodwin's work is held in many important collections including: Art Gallery of New South Wales, Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and the Art Gallery of New South Wales.[6]

Personal life[edit]

Goodwin's late husband was Kunmanara (Mumu Mike) Williams (1952–2019).[9][10]
