Morris said he was born near the oval in Papunya – not at the hospital. He has always lived in Papunya attending school and working with the council. Morris and his wife, Patricia Phillipus Naparrula have five children, one of which is adopted. Morris’ mother was Nellie Napangarti and his father, Tommy Tjanganpa Tjapintjinpa. Tommy’s country is northwest of Kintore while Nellie’s was Nirrypi, southwest of Yuendumu. Morris’ dreaming stories are possum, water and emu. Morris had painted a little for private dealers before joining Papunya Tjupi Arts.
