Imitjala's paintings reflect the country where there is plenty of bush tucker. The large roundels represent the piti (traditional bowls) used to collect the figs, bush tomatoes and other bush foods (depicted as smaller circles). Imitjala now shows her daughters and grandchildren how to collect the bush foods and eat healthily from the land just as she did as a child.
Imitjala is a senior traditional woman and is the custodian for a number of important Dreaming stories including the Ngintaka (Perentie Lizard), Ngapari (Sugar Leaf at Watarru), and the Minyma Kututja of the Walytjitjata Dreaming.
