Mitjili Napurrula's distinctive painting style combines tradition with innovation, expressed in bold curvilinear shapes, fresh colours and contemporary designs drawn from ancient cultural traditions. Her artwork is deeply connected with the Dreaming stories (Tjukurrpa) from her father's ancestral lands, known as Uwalki, an area west of Haasts Bluff near the Kintore Ranges. In demand both nationally and internationally, Napurrula's work is known for its leafy motif referencing the Watiya Tjuta (trees) used for the creation of ceremonial wood objects.
