This design by Mavis Nampitjinpa Marks shows the 'Women's Business Story'. Mavis was born in 1945 at New Haven and moved to Ikuntji (Haasts Bluff) as a teenager with her mother. She was the sister of Ronnie Tjampitjinpa and Smithy Zimran Tjampitjinpa, and her sisters Yuyuya Nampitjinpa and Gina Nampitjinpa are from the same birth mother and father. When she married, she moved to Watiyawanu (Mt Liebig) with her husband and began to paint at the art centre there. Mavis returned to Ikuntji at the death of her husband. She raised five children as her own, and her daughter, Sylvana Marks, is also an artist.
