Tjaruwa has painted the country around Kamanti, Purr-purr, Tarantjara, Baki and Palka-Palka Creek to the north of where she was born. This painting depicts country and tjukurpa (ancestral stories) that can only be discussed in very general detail publicly as they are stories belonging to Spinifex men. Very generally the painting shows elements of the initiation process whereby a young boy has a hole made in his nose with the help of sacred birds and Marlu, the red kangaroo.
