BiographyHistory

'Lucy was born with bandicoot Dreaming. She grew up around Kalyuyangku, Western Australia and travelled south of Well 33 along the Canning stock route, becoming an adult while living east of Wantili (Well 25). Lucy and her husband, Wiyangari, who belonged to Piparr Country, were among the last people to move to Balgo mission. Lucy began painting at Warlayirti in 1992'.
