Djalinda Yunupingu’s mother was an artistic assistant to Mawalan Marika, and she grew up watching the painting process, and eventually assisted herself. This led to Yunupingu to begin painting in her own right. She is also a ceremonial participant in and has knowledge of the Rirratjingu as well as Gumatj law. In the last 15 years, she has begun to produce barks more regularly on the Rulyapa theme using modern ochre mixing in colours of pink, grey and green.
