Mick Namarari was born at Marnpi, south west of Mount Rennie and was on the Papunya community council when Geoff Bardon arived there to teach art in 1971. He was one of the first to express an interest in painting for Bardon shortly after his arrival and was a founding member of the Papunya Tula Artists cooperative the following year.
