Pauline Minmila Wangin was born at Indulkana Community on the Anangu Pitjanjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in 1970. Her mother's name was Susan Everard (dec). Pauline has two brothers, Billy Everard (dec) and Teddy Wangin and one sister Betty Wangin. Pauline has four children who all live in Mimili. Pauline has been painting since 2000 and is a Director of Mimili Maku Arts.
Pauline started working at the art centre when it was first founded. For many years, Pauline was a dedicated artworker until she started focusing entirely on her painting practice. Her paintings resonate with a deep appreciation for the landscape and the stories that have created it.
Pauline often goes on bush-trips to Victory Well, which lies between her birth place of Indulkana and her home of Mimili. She enjoys teaching the stories passed on to her by her ancestors, particularly focusing on the care for rockholes.
