Christine Nakamarra Curtis is an Australian Aboriginal artist of the Warlpiri people, born in 1980 and living in the Yuendumu community in the Central Australian desert. She is part of the Warlukurlangu Aboriginal Artists' Cooperative in Yuendumu.
She comes from a family of artists including her mother, Kelly Napanangka Michaels, her father, Roy Jupurrurla Curtis, and her aunt, Alice Nampijinpa Henwood Michaels. She is the eldest of seven sisters and spent most of her childhood in Nyirripi. "I love this place. I grew up here, I learned from the Elders." In 2007, Christine began painting with the Warlukurlangu Artists' Cooperative.
Christine paints the Dreamings of her maternal grandparents, stories that relate directly to her ancestral land, its features, and the plants and animals that inhabit it. These stories have been passed down for millennia. Christine uses a free palette to develop a modern interpretation of her traditional culture.
