Lorna was born around 1920 in Yumurrpa country which is situated near the Granites in the Tanami Desert, in the Northern Territory. Sadly Lorna passed away on 7th December 2006. She lived at Lajamanu community and occasionally in Katherine. The Yarla (Yam) Dreaming track originates from this region and travels north towards Lajamanu. Lorna was a senior Warlpiri (language/tribal law group) woman.
Whilst Lorna has "painted up" all her life, meaning that she was raised as a skilled painter of decorative body designs for ceremonies, her artworks on canvas only dates from 1986. Lorna initiated her rise in the art world by painting for the Warnayaka Art Centre. In recent years, Lorna's work has become increasingly extravagant, abstract and sensual, catching the attention of art collectors from around the world and giving rise to comparisons with the late Emily Kame Kngwarreye.

This painting tells a story of women heading into the bush to collect bush tucker. The women would travel all day in large groups‚ singing and dancing as they collected food to take back to the large families at the campsite. The women quite often come across a caterpillar that they call ´cheeky one´. This is because this particular caterpillar constantly bites the women while they are picking fruit‚ making them quite itchy. These caterpillars are luminous green in colour with bright eyes. The landscape is portrayed as abundant and full of flowers in bloom.
