Eunice was born at Lulpu the Jameson road side of Warburton Ranges. She spent time in the warburton mission and later moved to Warakurna when she married the senior custodian of Warakurna country.
Eunice is an accomplished weaver making both baskets and fibre sculptures from desert grasses, such as minarri, growing close to her home at Warakurna. She has been making baskets since the intital workshops were facilitated by NPY Womens Council in 1995 and has passed weaving skills on to many women in her region.

Eunice makes sculptural work drawing on animals prevalent in NGY Lands as inspiration, whether they be 'camp dogs' on the community or goannas, porcupines, or rabbits hunted out bush.

These sculptural works are just as often inspired by ancestral figures from tjukurrpa.
