Since then, she has continued to focus on her painting practice, drawing inspiration from her grandmothers Mrs T. James and Mrs N. Bennett, both acclaimed artists in their own right. Elaine paints tjukurrpa stories of the Kaltukatjara region, including Kungka Kutjara (Two Sisters) and the story of Ontulu.
