In 1948, with the forced relocation of the Kaiadilt to Mornington Island, her connection to the land was abruptly severed. However, this separation only reinforced the importance of memory and cultural identity in her life and artistic practice.<br \/>\nShe began painting in 2005, at the age of 76, joining the Mornington Island Art Centre.
