I was born in Port Augusta outside of the hospital. I grew up in Oodnadatta and went to school there. As a young teenager I went to Indulkana and did more school here. Then I moved to Mt. Ebenezer. I lost my mama (father) there and my mother died while I was there also. Then I moved to Areyonga and had babies there, Julie and Judas. After a while, I moved over to Indulkana. I have lived here for a long time. Done lots of work. I started as a A.W. at the school as a teacher’s aide. Then I worked at the Health Clinic. Now I am at Iwantja. I am a happy grandmother also. I am doing a Certificate of Art and Craft Practice through Batchelor College. It is taking a long time – I will finish one day! I like painting and linocuts. I do my own bush tucker (mai) and jukurrpa (dreaming) designs.
