This is the country where I grew up and it is called Mulpulya. When I was a young child my family and I would walk from rockhole to rockhole.
In the 1950's Myrtle along with her family left their homelands due to the British Nuclear testing at Maralinga. Sadly Myrtle lost some of her family members during this time through sickness and lack of water when they left familiar territory. Myrtle has been painting with the Spinifex Arts Project since it began.
