She carries many dreamings passed down from her grandmother, the late Big Betty Kemarre, who was part of the renowned Utopia Women’s Batik Group. From her grandmother, Joycie learned hunting, bush tucker knowledge, bush medicine, and painting, all of which influence her vibrant and symbolic art.

Today, Joycie continues to share her culture through contemporary mediums, balancing her art practice with raising her seven children.
