Josephine Mick was born at Alilyangu (near Pukatja) in the Pitjantjatjara Lands. Josephine began painting as a young woman, before there were any art centres in the West. She is a respected Ngangkari (traditional healer) with an extensive knowledge of bush medicines, and is acknowledged for her work across two cultures, as a senior custodian of Tjukurpa and as an advocate for her people. Josephine was the founding Director of NPY Women’s Council in 1982. Among many roles, Josephine was the Anangu supervisor for the Arts in Health doctoral study on the benefits of art centres to community by researcher Maree Meredith, supported by Ku Arts.
