A Warlpiri speaker, her country is Ngarnallkurru (little Sandy River) and Mt Theo. She paints a Cave story and Bush Onion, Bush Tomato, and Bush Bean Dreamings. She learnt to paint through relatives who are painters. 'I haven’t started painting when I was young. I started doing painting when we got canvas boards. I did the designs very carefully because I had to remember the designs. Yes we also do our painting on our bodies with these Dreamings. It also represents our country when we do these designs for ceremonies. Some of these Dreaming designs are very important to us.’
