Joanne began painting for Mbantua Gallery in 2005. Her mother, sisters and aunties are all Utopia artists and the years spent watching them provided inspiration to Joanne. Joanne speaks little English but when asked about paintings she is enthusiastic to try and teach as much as she can.
Joanne has painted spinifex that she can find in her country, Ahalpere. Spinifex, or aptly named the porcupine grass, is a sharp, pointed grass that is abundant in Central Australia.
