Francesca Puruntatameri was born in 1965 on Bathurst Island. She attended secondary school at St Johns College in Darwin. After finishing year 11 she returned to her hometown of Pirlangimpi. Francesca took various jobs, working in the bank and library and studied book keeping at the Darwin Community College. She then took some time for parenting her daughter.
Francesca worked for a short time at Munupi Arts in 1993 but left to work at the bakery for a period of 6 months. She returned to Munupi Arts & Crafts and made an impression with her decorative canvas paintings and gouaches on paper.
She has also completed printmaking workshops and assists with fabric screen-printing. Francesca has completed her Certificate II in Arts and Crafts with Batchelor College and served as President of Munupi Arts from 2009 – 2013.
Francesca has participated in many group exhibitions with Munupi Arts and in 2025 had her first solo show at Niagara Galleries in Melbourne.
