Arriving late to painting, the 59-year-old spent a lifetime listening to the stories of her father, the distinguished artist Munggur-ruwuy, helping to translate the Bible into the local Gumatj language, and assisting brother Mandawuy, lead singer of the band Yothu Yindi, to organize the annual celebration of Yolngu culture, Garma, before picking up the brush just six years ago.
