Priscilla is the daughter of Patricia Phillipus who is the daughter of Papunya Tula Artist Long Jack Phillipus whose Kalipinypa dreaming story she inherited as did her mother Patricia Napurulla. Priscilla has developed her own unique style in her paintings where she uses fine line work to combine traditional symbols with her own contemporary designs.
This painting depicts a Water Dreaming story at Kalipinypa, North-East of Kintore. The painting tells the story of a rain and hail making ceremony for the site of Kalipinypa. Ancestral forces are invoked to bring on a powerful storm with lightning, thunderclouds and rain sending a deluge to rejuvenate the earth, filling the rock holes, clay pans and creeks and creating new life and growth upon the land. Today the Nakamarra, Tjakamarra, Napurrula and Tjupurrula men and women are the custodians of this important Water Dreaming story.
