Carol paints in the style of her grandmother Nyankulya Watson. The story passed down to her is about Nyankulya’s country and the many places she travelled to as a young girl. Carol learnt all the rock holes from her grandmother. “Mt Aloysius, good water there. ‘Ngura tjuta’ (lots of country) including: Altjurungka, Kunaltju, Wangkal, Tur, Wiltju, Wipuwarra, Warratjuntjun, Pitlja Piltj.”
