She was born there around 1945, spoke Anmatyerre, and her Country is Aknangkere. She was one of the seven Petyarre sisters, alongside Ada Bird, Jean, Kathleen, Myrtle, Nancy and Violet, in a family that has produced some of the most collected work in Aboriginal art.

In 1999 she won the Wynne Prize for landscape at the Art Gallery of New South Wales for one of these works, the first Aboriginal artist to take out that award. She passed away in June 2021.
