Oweesha started painting with Martumili Artists at the age of 7 in 2019 with the Kuulkaja (school) project. She now paints with her mother and father. Martu children attend end school in the remote communities Punmu, Parnngurr, Kunawarritji, Irrungadji and Warralong. The Kuulkaja exhibition regognised the Kuulkaja as being at the heart of each community, and celebrates the important role they play in keeping culture, Country and language strong.
Oweesha says: "My name is Oweesha. I like playing catching games with my friends. I live at Kunawarritji with my little sister. In Kunawarritji we was playing egg and spoon. We was playing with the real eggs. We went to play to the park. Having a good day in the sun. So much fun. Painting with my parents (Owen Biljabu and Kara Patch) makes me happy. I like when we go on trips, learning about country and where the old people been walking." Oweesha lives with her parents at Kunawarritji - a very important rock hole site and Martu community in the Pilbara.
