"The painting tells the tale of Malilu, a significant being of creation. Malilu was a crippled woman. As she performed a sacred dance, she left distinctive tracks in the sand. Her two daughters abandoned her to get married, leaving her to fend for herself. It was difficult for her to gather bush foods and water because she had to drag her leg as she walked. Despite the challenges, she managed to collect desert raisins, bush tomatoes, berries, and various other wild foods through much effort."

Rooted in Dreamtime traditions, her dot paintings merge Anangu heritage with contemporary design, continuing the family legacy of Jimmy Baker and Kay Baker within the Western Desert art movement.
