    Also known as ‘Miss Bates’ she was born in the east Gibson Desert, Western Australia and has been painting since the early 1990’s. She paints important stories from her mother and father’s country for Warakurna Artists. This colourful and bold work tells the story of the ‘7 Sisters Dreaming’ – this is the star cluster known in western civilisations as ‘Pleiades’ which is easily observed from central Australia. This star group rises just above the horizon soon after sunset and keeps a low trajectory above the horizon. Because of this, every evening the 7 sisters who are being pursued by the unwelcome attentions of a man from a different skin group, and is as such forbidden to marry any of the girls, in their quest to run away seem to launch themselves from the land and into the night sky to be pursued by the man, represented by a star from Orion’s belt cluster. Stories associated with the stars and night skies carry meanings which probe deeply into the law and culture and social structures of the Aboriginal people.
