Pauline began painting for Mbantua Gallery in 2000, alongside many other women from her region. Known for her shyness, she specialises in intricate dot work that depicts stories of women in ceremony or gathering food. Currently, she is focusing on the atwakeye (bush orange) story, which originates from her father's dreaming. Pauline's sisters, Katie and Janie (dec), are also accomplished painters.
In this painting, Pauline paints women collecting a variety of Bush Tucker (bush foods) that she can find in her country, Ingkwelaye (Kurrajong Bore).
