Tjawina Porter grew up in the Western Desert of Australia where she lived a traditional lifestyle with her family. Tjawina is a skilled craftsperson and was well known for her skills as a traditional basket weaver and carver of punu before becoming recognised for her exceptional painting skills. Her artworks represent the traditional homelands associated with her people's ancestral heritage.

The iconography depicts sand dunes known as "tali" and rock escarpments known as "puli", as well as waterholes and food sources. Her designs are often used in body art during traditional ceremonies. The artworks depict the physical markings that the ancient ancestors have provided to give evidence of their activities during the time of creation. Tjawina's artworks are rich in symbolism and fine detail, with brushwork and dots travelling steadily across the canvas to reveal the undulating forms of her country.
