She studied at the Bachelor College in Alice Springs for three years and served as a council member for Kintore for a number of years.

Elizabeth commenced painting by helping her husband, Mick Namerari Tjapaltjarri, with his paintings. Since his death in 1998, she has become an artist in her own right. Her work focuses on the stories taught to her by her family.

Elizabeth is known for her Escher-like paintings, which use one colour with a contrasting lighter hue on a black background. The straight lines are made up of dragged dots, drawn at ninety degrees to each other, to build retreating and advancing line-tunnels.

Elizabeth has had many solo and joint exhibitions, and her work is found in many public and private collections.
