accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Mimili Maku Arts
Milatjari was born in the bush in North-western South Australia. When she was still a young girl, her family encountered stockmen at a waterhole called Victory Well on Everard Park Station. She did not begin painting until 2008, when she was about 80 years old.
Milatjari paints the Maku Dreaming associated with Antara, land close to Mimili. This is her uncle's traditional country, and Milatjari's family often went hunting and gathered food there when she was young.
Her style and technique has influenced many of Mimili Maku's younger artists, including her daughter Ngupulya and Tuppy Ngintja Goodwin.
