About the Artist
Father is the late Djutjadjutja. Resides at Yirrkala to work at Buku-Larrngay Mulka as manager of the print workshop. Marrnyula began working for the Buku-Larrngay Mulka Centre whilst Steve Fox was the art co-ordinator in the 1980s.
As well as being an artworker she was brought up in one of the most artistically prolific camps in Yirrkala over this period. Both her mother Nongirrnga and her father Djutjadjutja (dec. c.1935-1999) were constantly producing art with the help of their sons and daughters. She grew to assist her father (winner of the 1997 Best Bark painting prize National Aboriginal and Islander Art Award) with his sacred Djapu paintings as well as developing her own style of narrative naive paintings.
All this whilst providing material support and moral leadership for her large family and being 'mother' to her brother's three children
