Joylene was born in 1967 and is the daughter of Tjimpayi Presley (a member of the Mitakiki Women's Collaborative) and the granddaughter of Tjampawa Kawiny. Joylene previously painted at Tjurma Homelands Arts and Crafts Centre. Today she paints at Tjala Arts and the APY Studio in Adelaide, continuing in the footsteps of her late grandmother and mother in telling the Seven Sisters story and how it relates to kapi tjukula (many rock holes).
