Judy paints her father's country, Wakura. Wakura is near Nyapari, on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in remote North-Western South Australia.
Even though Judy lives in Mimili Community now, she is still a custodian of the land around Wakura. Her focus lies on the importance of the water sources in the area, which have been guarded and cared for by her father's family since the beginning of time. Judy maps the kapi tjukula amongst the puli (mountain ranges) and tali (sand hills) of Wakura.
