As a young teenage girl, Nura learnt weaving at the craft room and also made hooked floor rugs, She knitted jumpers for the men at work.
She learnt wood carving (punu) and pokerwork making snakes, birds, tingka, wira, and rabbits.
It is thought she may also have dabbled in batik in her early days as an artist. When Ernabella Arts became involved in the Beanie Festival around 2000, Nura came back to the art centre initially to make mukata (beanies), but also became involved in the exploration of painting with acrylics on canvas or paper.
Now an elderly, senior woman, Nura began expressing stories from her childhood particularly concerning mamu (spooky spirits or monsters), which soon became her signature and has escalated her into becoming one of the region's most well-known artists.
She has applied her naïve, quirky style successfully to the mediums of painting, printmaking and occasionally ceramic decoration, endearing herself to art-lovers and collectors everywhere..
