Wolpa Wanambi is the youngest daughter of one of the best known Yolŋu artists of the 1980s Duṉḏiwuy Waṉambi and learned to paint under his instruction. She assisted him on all of his major works produced during the 1990s, including Wuyal ≤Internal Link>, which was awarded the bark painting prize at the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards in 1994. This painting is the first formally attributed to Wolpa. It was painted with instruction from her father, who would die later that year.
