Lisa is from a family of renowned artists including her mother, Dolly Petyarre Mills, and her auntie, Gloria Petyarre Mills. As a relatively new, emerging artist she has taken on one dreaming passed down by her family.

The Bush Potato is a tasty, fibrous tuber that grows in the Alhalker region of Utopia and is of great significance to the Anmatyerr and Alyawarr women of the Eastern Desert region. Lisa depicts the Bush Potato as its roots spreading across the country much the same as her brush strokes spread across the canvas.
