One of Nura's favourite stories to paint is about all the camp dogs in Ernabella. "Papa tjuta ngura uwankara," she says (There are many dogs everywhere!"). Some people have as many as ten dogs each as companions. With a joyous mind and heart, and a childlike view of the world she lives in, Nura often paints the simple things that bring her joy such as kids, dogs, birds and donkeys.
