Lisa Pula Mills is the daughter of renowned artist Dolly Petyarre Mills. She was born at MacDonald Downs and now lives on Utopia with her husband Damien Petrick (son of well known painter - Josie Petrick) and daughter Shakira. She grew up between both Irrwelty and Amperlatwaty (further north) where she went to Amperlatwaty school.

Lisa paints her mother’s dreaming - Emu (Aherr) Tucker and Bush Potato (Anaty) Dreaming. The colourful patterning of Lisa’s work depicts her country of Alhalker situated in the Utopia region north east of Alice Springs.

Her semi abstract work depicts the patterns of the foliage and growth of the sacred Bush Potato (Anaty) bush across her country of Arlparra.

Lisa Pula Mills began painting for Eastern Desert Art in 2006.
