Dora is the youngest daughter to the late Minnie Pwerle and Barbara Weir’s youngest sister.
‘Awelye - Women’s Body Paint’ was passed down to her by her sister Betty Mbitjana. Awelye depicts the designs that the women would paint on their bodies, and the dancing tracks which are made in the sand during Women’s Awelye ceremony.
Betty Mbitjana took up full time residence at an aged care clinic in Alice Springs due to health issues and she is no longer painting.
