Patricia Olfield Nakamarra is the daughter of two Warlukurlangu painters and is married to Sebastian Roberston Jangala, a painter with whom she has adopted a baby boy named Favian. She and her husband are actively involved in the Jaru Pirrjirdi Youth Development programme, which is part of the Yuendumu Youth Program, which offers mentoring assignments to help young Warlpiri develop their personal and professional projects.
