Daisy was taught to paint by her husband Tim Leura Tjapaltjarri, a founder of the painting movement at Papunya. The couple had moved to Papunya with their 6 children when the community building program commenced. Daisy joined Papunya Tula Artists in the early 1980s and became one of its first female artists to achieve recognition.
