Her late father was a ceremony singer, and the first Tiwi man to joined the Tiwi Land Council. Of her artist mother, Cornelia Tipuamantumirri, whom she speaks with great respect as a good teacher of traditional Tiwi culture. It was through Cornelia that she acquired weaving, dancing and hunting skills. Now, Delores is passing on these skills to her three children and nine grandchildren.
Prior to joining Munupi Art in 2008, she worked at the Women’s centre and Aged Care in Pirlangimpi. She uses the traditional Tiwi comb for her painting, applying natural ochre tones to linen, creating a moving ripple effect suggesting a thrown fishing net.
